Today in White Sox History: March 18

After two seasons with Boston in the National League and ready to take on a bigger role at catcher, Billy Sullivan joined the exodus of players moving from the Senior Circuit to Junior by signing with the White Sox. Sullivan would play with the White Sox for the rest of his career, spanning 13 seasons. The first 12 was as a regular on the roster, with a 13th coming with a one-game cameo in 1914 after sitting out for a year. His career with the White Sox remained the longest in team history for a player until 1925, when fellow catcher Ray Schalk played his 14th (of 17) seasons with the team.
