1962

Devon Markes Whyte (formerly and commonly known as Devon White, born December 29, 1962), nicknamed "Devo", is a Jamaican-born American former professional baseball center fielder, best known for his defensive ability at that position.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Milwaukee Brewers.

He currently serves as the first base coach for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, but was briefly called up to the Blue Jays as first base coach in 2022.

Born as Devon Whyte in Kingston, Jamaica, his family immigrated to the United States when he was nine years old.

However, the paperwork had their family name misspelled as "White".

1981

White was drafted by the California Angels in the 6th round of the 1981 draft.

1985

He made his major league debut in the late stages of the 1985 season for California, but he did not establish himself as a major leaguer until 1987, when he played a full season and hit with power and ran the basepaths with speed.

In fact, he hit 24 home runs and stole 32 bases that season; he managed to steal at least fifteen bases and hit fifteen home runs before the All-Star break, and no rookie would do so again until 2022.

1988

In 1988, only his second full season, he won his first of seven Gold Gloves.

1989

On September 9, 1989, he became one of the few players in baseball history to get on first base then score by stealing second base, third base, and home.

1990

On December 2, 1990, he was traded with Willie Fraser and Marcus Moore to the Toronto Blue Jays for Junior Félix and Luis Sojo.

White won two World Series and five Gold Gloves with the Toronto Blue Jays.

With a .336 batting average in his post-season career with the Blue Jays, compared to a .270 regular season average with Toronto, White consistently upped his game to help Toronto reach playoff success.

1992

In 1992, White collected 3.9 Defensive Wins Above Replacement, which led the major leagues.

In Game 3 of the 1992 World Series against the Atlanta Braves, White was the central part of one of the most famous plays in World Series history.

With David Justice batting and runners on first and second base, Justice hit a fly ball which White chased down and caught while jumping into the wall.

White then threw the ball to second baseman Roberto Alomar who threw to John Olerud at first to try to double up Terry Pendleton, but Pendleton had already been called out for running past Deion Sanders.

Olerud promptly threw the ball to third baseman Kelly Gruber who chased down Sanders, diving and clipping him on the heel with his glove.

However the umpire, Bob Davidson, did not see the tag, and called Sanders safe, which cost the Jays the second triple play in World Series history.

After the game, Davidson watched the replay and admitted he missed the call.

1993

While playing for the team, White appeared on Canadian children's television show Under the Umbrella Tree, in uniform in what was then known as The Skydome talking with characters Jacob Bluejay and Iggy Iguana, in 1993 episode Baseball Fever.

1995

After the 1995 season, White signed with the Florida Marlins and won another World Series in 1997, although he only hit .215 in the playoffs that year.

2000

On April 11, 2000, while leading off for the Dodgers as the first batter in the first game at Oracle Park (then called Pacific Bell Park) in San Francisco, White recorded the first base hit in the ballpark's history, off Giants pitcher Kirk Rueter.

2002

He later played with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Milwaukee Brewers before retiring in 2002.

2003

His last name was legally changed back to its original spelling in 2003 at the behest of his children, but throughout his baseball playing career, he was known as "Devon White" and continues to sign autographs with that spelling.

His daughter, Davellyn Whyte, played two seasons of professional basketball in the WNBA.

White attended Park West High School in Manhattan, New York City.

White was primarily a basketball player in high school and only began playing baseball after watching New York Yankees and Mets games on television with his father.

White received a scholarship offer to play both college basketball and college baseball for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

2017

In January 2017, White was hired by the Blue Jays organization to be the hitting coach of the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

In July 2022, White was called up to the Blue Jays as the interim first base coach for incumbent Mark Budzinski who was on bereavement leave.

A cousin of White's, Jayden Hylton, also plays baseball.
