I'm having a tough time figuring out how he could have played there.

... after an August 1990 recall from Double-A Birmingham (where he had batted .323 with 71 RBIs in 109 games to win Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year award) he never spent another day in the bushes.

Without so much as a single Triple-A at-bat to his resume, Thomas collected hits in 45 of the 60 games he played for the White Sox that year, finishing his first tour of duty in the major leagues with a .330 batting average, seven home runs and 31 RBIs.

And he does not appear on the PawSox all-time roster, so that's probably out anyway.

Did the White Sox (or for some odd reason their AA Birmingham affiliate) ever play an exhibition game there maybe?
