SoxFan1 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Since there seems to be so much hate in that Alex Rios thread, I'm curious as to who peoples favorite White Sox players are. We love to hate certain players for odd reasons, so who are some random White Sox players you love? For me, Ray Durham is possibly my favorite Sox player of all time. Loved everything about him and got to meet him when I was a kid. Ray Durham Mark Buehrle Shingo Takatsu Mike Sirotka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Robin is my all-time favorite. Ozzie was on my list, as were Harold and Pudge. Recently it would have to be Buehrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Frank, Paulie, Mark. Magglio was on there until around 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's weird but Frank never was a favorite. I couldn't help but stop and watch him play, but never a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was obsessed with him for about two years until he fell off of the map. I still have the autographed pic with me and him we took in 1983 in Arlington TX.

ShandyMan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Mike Caruso, Brook Fordyce, Buerhle, Konerko Caruso and Fordyce were when I was pretty young when I knew little about the game. Liked them because they gave me autographs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Me too. I respected the hell out of what he did, but never was my favorite. Does this make sense, Thomas was a favorite to watch, but not a favorite player? Buehrle reminded me that baseball is a game and should be fun Pudge reminded me that the game should be played right. Hard and fair. Baines just has so much integrity, too bad he was hurt Ozzie was flat out fun to watch play. Always playing with his heart on his sleeve. Robin always seemed to be trying harder than anyone else on the field, and needed to. Frank always looked unhappy. Like his talent was a burden. I sometimes include Bo Jackson but he never felt like a Sox player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 All time - Frank, i got into baseball in '93 and he was the biggest story in chicago baseball while I grew up. Past 10 years - Buehrle, was always fun to watch and always had a smile on his face. Current roster - Lilli, because why the hell not.

SoxFan1 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I figured Frank would kinda be a unanimous, no-brainier amongst all Sox fans. Hell, he's the reason I'm a White Sox fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) I figured Frank would kinda be a unanimous, no-brainier amongst all Sox fans. Hell, he's the reason I'm a White Sox fan. I'm with a lot of other poster, apparently. For some reason, Frank was never my favorite; I loved having him, just never fawned over him. Durham BlackJack Paulie Honorable mention: Griffey. He has always been my favorite player of all time. I don't care if he didn't do much for us (though he did his part in 163), I will die happy knowing that Ken Griffey Jr. graced our outfield for a minute.
