5 Baseball Players who Played for Marlins and White Sox
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Marlins and White Sox.
Mark Buehrle
Mark Buehrle, who pitched from 2000 to 2015, is best known for his time with the Chicago White Sox.
Over his 16-season career, Buehrle won 214 games, posted a 3.81 ERA, and struck out over 1800 batters. He was named an All-Star five times (White Sox, Blue Jays) and won four Gold Glove awards (White Sox, Marlins), demonstrating his defensive skills as a pitcher.
Buehrle played a key role in the White Sox’s 2005 World Series championship and famously pitched a perfect game in 2009.
*Buehrle has previously been the most popular pick for this square (Grid 101).
Bobby Bonilla
Bobby Bonilla was a big-hitter whose career spanned from 1986 to 2001, playing for 8 different teams over that time. You may know him as a Pirate, Met or Marlin but he also played for the Orioles, Braves, Cardinals, Dodgers and White Sox.
Bonilla helped the Marlins grab a World Series ring in ’97. He hit over 280 home runs and 400 doubles during his career. He was a six-time All-Star.
But what he’s most famous for is his contract with the Mets, who still pay him over a million bucks every July 1 (known as “Bobby Bonilla Day”) due to a deferred payment deal. So even though there were some bumps, Bonilla definitely made a mark in baseball, both on and off the field.
Carlos Lee
Carlos Lee, who played from 1999 to 2012, is best known for his time as an outfielder with the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros.
Over his 14-season career, Lee amassed over 2200 hits, 358 home runs, and maintained a .285 career batting average. He was named an All-Star three times (Brewers, Astros) and was consistently a power threat in the middle of the lineup.
His most productive season may have been 2006 when he split time between the Brewers and Rangers, batting .300 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs.
Mike Cameron
Mike Cameron, an exceptional center fielder, is known for his defensive prowess, speedy base running, and notable power. He played from 1995 until 2011, contributing to eight different teams, including the Seattle Mariners and the New York Mets.
Cameron racked up 278 home runs and 968 RBIs over his 17-year career, while maintaining a batting average of .249. He was selected as an All-Star once, and his exceptional fielding earned him three Gold Glove Awards.
One of his career highlights was on May 2, 2002, when he hit four home runs in a single game, a rare accomplishment in MLB history.
