Name: Tom Gordon

Rank: 83

Position: P

Year With White Sox: 2003

Tom Gordon signed with the White Sox as a free agent on January 23, 2003, hoping to shore up a bullpen that was left barren after the trade for Bartolo Colon.  Gordon posted a 7-6 record with 12 saves and a 3.16 ERA in 66 relief appearances, leading all White Sox relievers in wins and saves.

He also ranked second among all American League relief pitchers with 91 strikeouts in 74.0 innings pitched.  The highlight of his season came on July 12, when he earned his 100th career save against the Indians, becoming just the 14th pitcher in Major League history to record 100 saves and 100 wins in his career.  Following the season, Gordon became a free agent, ending his White Sox career.
