Brian Simmons (born September 4, 1973, in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania) was a Major League Baseball outfielder.
Career
Drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 2nd round of the 1995 MLB amateur draft out of Michigan, Simmons would make his Major League Baseball debut with the Chicago White Sox on September 21, 1998, and appeared in his final game on October 7, 2001. On September 26, 1998 against the Royals, Simmons hit home runs from both sides of the plate, establishing a new record for fewest at-bats required to do so. His fledgling career was derailed, however, when he ruptured his Achilles tendon late in 2000 spring training.
