Minnie Minoso was before my time, but not really since he stayed with the White Sox for years after his playing career ended. Or did it end?
How is this for a playing career - 1949, 1951 - 64, 1976 and 1980? The White Sox brought him back in 1976 and 1980 to bat in a game.
He hit .298 and he almost got 2,000 hits. He hit .300 eight times, and led the league in numerous other categories. He was loved for his enthusiasm for the game and his aggressiveness on the bases.
He is one of only two players to play in five decades. Who is the other guy to do that?
I could name Minosa... but haven't a clue who the other guy is.
