One of my earliest favorite White Sox players, even if he did play for those nasty New York Yankees at one time. The first time I was at Comiskey Park, I thought the fans were booing him when he came to bat, but they were yelling "Moose!"
Born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 18, 1930 and died April 27, 2012. Until his death he was employed by the Chicago White Sox in community relations.
Had a .282 batting average, hit 211 home runs with 888 rbis in 14 seasons of MLB, 9 with the Yankees, 1 with the Dodgers and 4 with the Sox.
In 1964, he batted .385 while with the Los Angeles Dodgers against his former team, the Yankees. As a result, the Dodgers swept that New York team. Sometimes a trade comes back to haunt you.
