1989 Score #542 - Mark Salas

On this day in 1961, catcher Mark Salas was born.

It seems hard to believe, but Mark Salas only played for the Chicago White Sox during the 1988 season. After his playing career ended in the early nineties, Mark became the bullpen catcher for the Sox from 1996 until 1999. He spent two years as a scout for the Pale Hose, after that. In 2007, Salas started his second stint as the White Sox bullpen catcher. In 2012, he survived the coaching shakeup, after the 2011 season, and is still the Sox bullpen catcher.
