Jon Banchick returned in 2004 for his 11th MABL season to coach third base for the White Sox. Jon converted from player to coach in 2003 after being sidelined much of the 2002 and 2001 seasons with arm and shoulder injuries. Even in limited play the last several years, Banchick's moments in the sun have been quite remarkable. In 2004, Banchick had just one plate appearance all season long. Versus the Grays in the last game of the season, Banchick stepped up and ripped a double, finishing the season batting 1.000 and slugging 2.000 (amazingly a feat no other MABL player has ever accomplished). From 2001 to 2003, of Banchick's 5 hits, 4 of them were outside of Boston. In 2003, Banchick's only hit was a single versus the Mets on 6/21 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal where he later scored. And in 2002 in Montreal, Banchick went 2-2 with a pair of doubles and an RBI versus the Mariners. And in 2001, his lone hit was in Cooperstown at Doubleday Field at the baseball Hall of Fame versus the Pirates. Talk about rising to the occasion! Also in 2003, Banchick stole his first base since 1998. He might not play often, but when he does: Holy smokes! Those who have followed the Sox over the years know that Banchick was quite the player before injuries set in. In 1999, Banchick hit .404 with only 1 strikeout in 48 plate appearances -- the best ratio in the league. Banchick is also the longest standing member of the White Sox and holds a respectable .311 lifetime batting average. Appearances: 2004 MABL All-Star Coach. Boston White Sox Career Statistics:
