[edit] Biographical Information
Bobby Howry, through 2009, has pitched 12 seasons in the major leagues. Most of his years have been in Chicago, first with the Chicago White Sox and later with the Chicago Cubs.
In the late 1990's and early 2000's, the Chicago White Sox went through various relief pitchers, never settling on any of them for very long. 1999 was Howry's year, when he got 28 saves. However, the White Sox weren't willing to let him keep the job. Roberto Hernandez had been the fireman in 1997 for the White Sox, Bill Simas had the job in 1998, Howry in 1999, Keith Foulke in 2000 and 2001, a trio of arms in 2002 and 2003, and then Shingo Takatsu in 2004. It was enough to make a fan dizzy.
