The Mendoza line was named for Mario Mendoza, a shortstop for the Braves. It originated in the early '80s, and was attributed to the Chicago White Sox bullpen in an article written for SI, I believe by Frank Deford.
The Sox relievers used the term to refer to anyone hitting below .220, though now it's used to refer to those hitting below .200.
