While playing for the White Sox, Newson was given the nickname "The Deacon" by the team's longtime television play-by-play announcer, Ken Harrelson.[citation needed] Newson possessed exceptional strike zone judgment, prompting Bill James to herald him as a freely-available player who could help many teams win.[citation needed]
