Spencer finally reaches majors with White Sox bid
Spencer, in his ninth minor league season, was promoted from Knoxville of the Southern League to the Chicago White Sox on July 17. The 27-year-old outfielder, who had never played in the majors, had been leading the Southern League with a .335 average and was batting .348 in eight games for Chicago. He hoped his father in Gallipolis, Ohio, could witness his big league debut as he adjusted his hitting approach and embraced the chance to control his own path to the majors.
