Former Pitt baseball player (and, for those that remember, football player as well) had his chance to make his major league debut earlier this season with the Chicago White Sox. Unfortunately for him, Smith injured himself in warmups and never got into the game.
But now, healthy again, Smith was again back in the spotlight and a few days ago, finally made his long-awaited debut with the White Sox. He’s played in three games so far but still remains hitless in eight at bats. He’s 0-8 at the plate, but did score his first major league run.
