  • Forty Years Later: Where the '72 White Sox Are Now
    Forty Years Later: Where The '72 White Sox Are Now By Mark Liptak and Paul Ladewski Posted on Friday, May 17 Forty years have passed since the 1972 White Sox team breathed new life into the franchise in one memorable season. Here's where the core players have been since then and where they are now: Cy Acosta, pitcher. The reliever spent three of his four major league seasons in a White Sox uniform. In 1973, his 18 saves ranked fifth in the league. The same year he became the first American League pitcher to bat in the designated hitter era. The 65- year-old resides in Mexico. Dick Allen, first base. He was the runaway winner in the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player vote, as he had career-highs in RBI (113), bases on balls (99) and on-base percentage (.420). The career .292 hitter played for five teams in15 seasons, after which he served as an advisor and instructor for several years. Now 70 years old, he resides in western Pennsylvania. Luis Alvarado, shortstop. In 1972, the Puerto Rican utilityman took part in a career-high 102 games. Two years earlier, the former International League Most Valuable Player was acquired in the trade that sent shortstop Luis Aparicio to the Boston Red Sox. Died at age 52 on March 20, 2001. Mike Andrews, second base. Also a part of the Aparicio trade, he started 143 games in the 1972 season, his last as an everyday player. One year later, he became the first DH in franchise history.
