Honestly if it wasn't for Konerko's time having overlap with Frank Thomas, Paulie would be a legend on the level of guys like Aparicio and Appling in White Sox lore. If you take out Frank, Konerko is by far the best power (long term speaking) hitter in the history of the franchise, and no one else is particularly close. In a franchise that still talks about guys like Harold Baines and Dick Allen, Paulie blows them all away.
I think he is. That's why I mentioned White Sox legend. Legend by itself is for guys like Frank who was one of the best ever (hall of fame) and is remembered by outside fans. We as white sox fans will always remember Paulie.
