BearSox Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Who are some of your favorite lesser know ex White Sox? Not players like Rowand or Thomas, but the backup/situational players. Two of my personal favorites are Liefy (Jeff Liefer) and the Milk Man (Herbert Perry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Liu Rodriquez. I paid $.05 for his card at Soxfest about 5 years ago. I'm sure its worth much less now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Another one of my favorites was Craig Wilson. I remember he hit a homer in his first career AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I was a big fan of Graffanino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Noberto Martin back in the day. More recently I liked Jeff Abbott and Greg Norton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 29, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) He had/has a gigantic forehead. I like how you threw in the option of him possibly getting some sort of surgery done to reduce his forehead size in the past few years... made me chuckle. QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 29, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) Noberto Martin back in the day. More recently I liked Jeff Abbott and Greg Norton. Jeff Abbott was going to be a stud. But someone f-d with his swing, and then it went all down hill from there. Even though he wasn't the hitting coach back then, I blame Greg Walker.

wilmot825 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Chris Snopek! The funniest White Sox player I have ever met, and always had time to sign something or interact with fans. Wonder what he is doing now? Edited May 30, 2007 by wilmot825 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo Paz Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Woody Held tossed me a batting practice ball. Louis Alvarado used to put on a show in fielding practice before the game. Rick Reichardt acted like he remembered my dad when we ran into him on an elevator. Ken Berry was one of the greatest center fielders ever. Walt Williams had no neck! Buddy Bradford hit one on the roof. Edited May 30, 2007 by Carlo Paz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm definitely on the Wunsch bandwagon. I have a game worn white home jersey I got at Soxfest that I wear all the time. It was less than getting a new jersey and getting his name on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 The entire '99 bench. Chris Snopek Mark L. Johnson McKay Christianson Brian Simmons Jeff Abbott Josh Paul(He'll be forever in White Sox lore though, so I guess he really isn't less known) Yeah, the '99 team certainly takes the cake in being awesomely obscure.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Lyle Mouton just because one of my fav childhood memories is Gene Honda saying that name (to this day, it's the coolest sounding name Honda has ever said). I also liked Sean Lowe a lot, Charles Johnson's 44 games with in in 2000 were splendid, Lorenzo Barcelo is a legend, and Mario Valdez and Antonio Osuna were great.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I can't wait to start adding members of the 2007 squad. ... Oh wait, the title says favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
