Originally signed by the New York Yankees in the fifth round of the 1973 Major League Baseball Draft, Lamarr Hoyt was traded to the Chicago White Sox in a 1977 season-opening deal that sent the Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent. A relief pitcher when he made the White Sox to stay in 1980, Hoyt was switched to the starting rotation in 1982 and tied a club record by winning his first nine decisions. Hoyt ended up leading the American League with nineteen wins and showed devastating control on the mound.
