| Jim Lombardo #44 | firstbase / DH born November 22, 1975 resides Brighton, MA |
|
| Jim "L Train" Lombardo joined the Whitesox
in 1999 via the New Player Draft. The Sox had high hopes for Jim in the starting
rotation, but an arm injury limited his time on the mound in 1999 and in 2000. So
instead, Lombardo showed his skills at firstbase and at the plate, finishing the
2000 season batting .300 and slugging .475. Jim's best game of the season was versus
the Dodgers, where he went 2 for 4, with a triple and 4 RBIs to help lead the Sox
to a 10-3 victory. Lombardo announced during the playoffs that he had been called
to the Coast Guard and may be unable to return in 2001 -- though he has expressed
interest in playing weekend games based upon his availability. Boston Whitesox Career Statistics: BATTING
