Year With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01989<\/p>\n

Billy Jo Robidoux signed a minor league deal with the White Sox following the 1988 season and was a non-roster invitee to spring training in 1989. \u00a0Despite hitting a robust .143 during Grapefruit League play, he managed to impress manager Jeff Torborg, who decided to add Robidoux to the roster and bring him north with the big league club. \u00a0“I like Billy in pinch-hitting roles,” Torborg said. \u00a0“He makes contact.”<\/p>\n

To say Robidoux squandered his opportunity may be putting it lightly. \u00a0He managed just 5 hits and 1 RBI in 39 at bats before being sent down to Triple A on May 7. \u00a0He would not return. \u00a0Following the season, he was allowed to leave the organization as a free agent.<\/p>\n
