Williams was traded to the White Sox in January of 1989 by the Indians in exchange for Joel Davis and Ed Wojna. \u00a0Williams successfully battled Robin Ventura, the Sox first round draft pick the

a respectable .274 average over 66 games for the big league club. \u00a0His opportunities in Chicago came to an end on September 12th, when Ventura made his debut for the Sox and wound up manning the hot corner for the next 9 seasons. \u00a0His time with the South Siders officially ended on October 15th, when he was granted free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Williams\u2019 numbers in a White Sox uniform
