Q&A with A.J. Pierzynski: On Frank Thomas' "Frankenstein shoes" and inspiring Mark Buehrle's perfect game

A.J. Pierzynski wore catcher’s gear for 19 seasons. Now he is unmasked.

A studio and game analyst for Fox Sports, Pierzynski met with Chicago baseball fans last week for an event at the Metropolitan Club.

He seemed to remember everything from his career that spanned nearly two decades and included stints with the Twins (1998-2003), Giants (’04), White Sox (’05-12), Rangers (’13), Red Sox (’14), Cardinals (’14) and Braves (’15-16).

After he signed with the White Sox, people around baseball predicted they would be no good.
