This 2000-2002 White Sox BP is up for sale on eBay. It's discernable as from that era due to the style of Majestic tail tag as well as the design of the Majestic logo and its placement on the left sleeve.

The seller strongly suggests that the above jersey was worn by Albert Belle. While I don't doubt the jersey is a genuine Sox BP shirt, I totally doubt that it was worn by Belle, as the moody slugger's last season at Comiskey Park was 1998.

In the 2000-02 time span, three catchers wore #8: Brook Fordyce, Charles Johnson and Mark Johnson. Given the size (48), the only one I'd rule out of the trio would be CJ.
