Rank:<\/strong>\u00a056<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0CF<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong> 1984-1990<\/p>\n

Daryl Boston was selected by the White Sox as the 7th pick in the 1st round of the 1981 draft.\u00a0 He made his major league debut on May 13, 1984 in the White Sox 8-1 victory against the Rangers, going 3-5 with 2 RBIs and a stolen base while leading off and playing center field. \u00a0He ended up appearing in 35 games for a White Sox team that failed to follow up on their success of the previous year, hitting an anemic .169.<\/p>\n

Boston split the 1985 season between Triple A Buffalo and Chicago, appearing in 95 games for the White Sox. \u00a0He managed to improve his average to .228 with the increased playing time.<\/p>\n

1986 again saw Boston splitting time between Triple A and the big leagues. \u00a0On October 4th, he hit the 50th and final home run given up by Bert Blyleven during the season, setting the major league record. \u00a0He finished the year with 56 appearances, hitting .266 with 5 home runs.<\/p>\n

Boston spent the majority of the 1987 season in Chicago, hitting .258 with 10 home runs in 337 at bats. \u00a01988 was his first full season in the major leagues, but he struggled, hitting only .217 but setting a career high with 15 home runs.<\/p>\n

Boston rebounded in 1989, raising his average to .252, but hitting only 5 home runs in 101 appearances. \u00a01990 saw his White Sox career come to an end, appearing in 5 games and getting only one at bat before being placed on waivers towards the end of April and being selected by the Mets.<\/p>\n

Boston rejoined the White Sox organization in 2001 as a roving minor league instructor. \u00a0In 2013, he became the first base coach for new manager Robin Ventura, a role he remains in to this day.<\/p>\n
