\"thepope\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Donn Pall<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a075<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0P<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01988-1993<\/p>\n

Chicago native Donn Pall joined the White Sox organization via the 23rd round of the draft in 1985.\u00a0 He made his major league debut 3 years later, throwing a\u00a0mop-up inning of relief at the end of the Sox 10-2 loss to the A’s on August 1 at Comiskey Park. \u00a0Pall appeared in 16 additional games down the stretch for a miserable White Sox squad, finishing the year with a respectable 3.45 ERA.<\/p>\n

Pall returned to the White Sox bullpen in 1989, earning his first career win on April 27 in a 16 inning victory over the Red Sox.\u00a0 He finished the year 4-5 with a 3.31 ERA and 6 saves in 53 appearances for the last place White Sox.<\/p>\n

The surprising White Sox found themselves in a pennant race in 1990 as they said goodbye to Comiskey Park.\u00a0 Pall continued to be a mainstay in the bullpen, going 3-5 with a 3.32 ERA in 56 appearances, including one appearance during the final weekend at the park he grew up attending.<\/p>\n

Pall and the White Sox moved across the street for the 1991 season, where Pall put up the best numbers of his career.\u00a0 He finished the year 7-2 with a sparkling 2.41 ERA in 51 appearances, including a scoreless inning of relief in the first game at new Comiskey Park.\u00a0 Pall struggled in 1992, seeing his ERA jump to 4.93 and his appearances drop to 39 despite a 5-2 record.<\/p>\n

In 1993, as the White Sox headed towards their first division title since 1983, Pall bounced back to put up 3.22 ERA in 39 appearances heading into September.\u00a0 However, he found himself in a roster crunch and, to make room for the re-acquired Ivan Calderon, he was traded to the Phillies on August 31 for a player to be named later.\u00a0 Pall, along with Carlton Fisk, who had been released earlier in the year, came to Comiskey Park before game 1 of the ALCS to wish their former teammates well.\u00a0 Sadly, they were both turned away, souring Fisk’s relationship with the organization for years.<\/p>\n

Pall returned to the White Sox organization in 1995, spending the entire year in Triple A before leaving at the end of the year as a free agent.<\/p>\n

Pall’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
