1991 – Three months after an operation that replaced a vein in his arm with one from his leg, White Sox pitcher Roberto Hernández holds the Royals hitless for six innings before Bill Pecota leads off the 7th with a double, the only hit Hernandez allows in Chicago’s 5 – 1 win over Kansas City. In the same game, Bo Jackson makes his miraculous return to the majors following a career-threatening football injury. He hits a sacrifice fly to drive in a run against his former team. Bo will end the year hitting .225 in 23 games, with three homers and 14 RBIs.
