While maybe it's not home, you can go back if you're Carl Everett. The White Sox acquired Everett again on Sunday. Picked up during last season as well, he played in 73 game for the White Sox hitting .301 with 10 home runs and 41 RBIs.

Everett has spent much is this season injured, with two stints in the DL while playing for the Montreal Expos. However, Sox GM Ken Williams watched Everett play in Atlanta Sunday before finalizing the trade and said, "He's running well, throwing well, starting to swing the bat. There are no residual effects from the shoulder injury he had earlier this year."

The addition of Everett to the lineup could be key to the Sox winning the AL Central race, especially with Frank Thomas out for 8 weeks. He's epected to join the team in time to be in the lineup Monday.
