Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Chad Kreuter<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong> 127<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01996-1997, 1998<\/p>\n

Following the 1995 season, the White Sox signed Chad Kreuter to back up incumbent starter Ron Karkovice. \u00a0He appeared in only 46 games before his season came to a premature end on July 19 due to a home plate collision with the Royals’ Johnny Damon. \u00a0Kreuter suffered a shattered shoulder socket and a lacerated stomach, which nearly claimed his life. \u00a0Surgery tried to repair the shoulder, but Kreuter was told he would likely never play baseball again.<\/p>\n

When Kreuter started to regain strength in his arm in mid-October, he dedicated himself to making it back to the big leagues. \u00a0General Manager Ron Schueler offered him a minor league deal for 1997, with a chance to earn a roster spot in spring training. \u00a0He not only earned his way onto the roster, but had supplanted Karkovice as the everyday catcher by mid-May, when he was traded, along with Tony Phillips, to the Angels for Jorge Fabergas and Chuck McElroy.<\/p>\n

Following the 1997 season, Kreuter re-signed with the White Sox and once again became the primary catcher. \u00a0In September, for the second consecutive year, he was traded to the Angels, ending his White Sox career.<\/p>\n
