Post-Career
After working with his father manufacturing skateboard wheels and becoming a real agent following retirement, Melton took a position as a community relations representative for the White Sox 1992. In 1998, Melton was hired by WGN to be a White Sox pre- and postgame television analyst. In 2005, he was hired by Comcast SportsNet Chicago in a similar position.
Until 1987, Melton was the White Sox' all-time home run leader. He was passed in 1987 by Harold Baines, who was then overtaken by Carlton Fisk in 1990. Fisk was later bypassed by Frank Thomas. He is currently eighth on the White Sox all-time homeruns list and tenth on the team's all-time strikeouts list.
