Name: Carl Everett
Rank: 87
Position: DH/CF
Years With White Sox: 2003, 2004-2005
Carl Everett was acquired by the White Sox on July 1, 2003 from the Rangers for Frank Francisco, Josh Rupe, and Anthony Webster. Two weeks later, he appeared in the All Star Game at his new home stadium, going 0-1 as one of 3 White Sox representatives. Everett continued his all star ways in the second half, hitting .301 with 10 home runs after the trade, but the White Sox faded down the stretch and finished the year in second place.
After signing with the Expos as a free agent for the 2004 season, Everett was reacquired by the White Sox on July 18, two weeks after Frank Thomas went down with a broken left foot, for Gary Majewski and Jon Rauch. In more limited playing time, Everett hit .266 with only 5 home runs and the White Sox again finished in second place.
With Thomas still recovering from his foot injury, Everett went into 2005 as the primary designated hitter. He appeared in 135 games, hitting .251 with 23 home runs and 87 RBI. Everett added 12 hits during the post-season as the White Sox won their first World Series title since 1917. Following the season, Everett again left as a free agent.
