25. Luis Aparicio (7 of 27 lists - 90 points - highest ranking #1 BigEdWalsh) bio by Texsox - Today's generation of baseball fans may believe that the Latin American explosion of players is a recent phenomenon. In fact, White Sox fans have enjoyed a long list of players to the point that the phrase Venezuelan shortstop should give Sox fans goose bumps. Sandwiched between Chico Carrasquel and Ozzie Guillen was the best of them all, Luis Aparicio. Little Louie, along with Soxtalk Fan Favorite Nellie Fox, formed the greatest middle infield tandem in baseball. Bill Veeck, who had been around baseball a long time, exclaimed "He's the best I've ever seen. He makes plays which I know can't possibly be made, yet he makes them almost every day." At the time, lumbering ox with big bats was the style in the AL. With the fast Aparicio leading off and the contact hitter Fox second, the Sox went to a hit and keep running style that catapulted the Go-Go Sox to the AL title in 1959 breaking the Yankee dominance. That year the Sox were first in stolen bases and last in homeruns. Fox won the 1959 MVP with "Little Louie" a close second. I remember watching a game when I was very young, probably seven or eight, and having my grandfather tell me to remember this man, you may never see a better shortstop in your lifetime. Those were strong words of praise coming from a diehard Cub fan for any Sox player and made a great impression on me. I can recall peering through the snow on the old black and white TV and trying to remember every move. I honestly cannot remember what Aparicio did that day, but I'll always remember the respect in my grandfather's voice. Career: · Led shortstops 8 times in fielding percentage · Nine consecutive stolen base titles · Most games at shortstop · Most double plays · Most assists as shortstop · Nine Gold Gloves in three decades · Seven time assist leader · Four time put out leader · 1956 Rookie of the Year · 13 All Star Games

Well in many ways, Soxtalk never left sir. It's always offered the same high quality threads and competitive postings.

Posting in this thread is pathetic and just sad. ... Oh wait...

They've been saying that for a few years with KC.

I don't think that they've ever played the Mets.

Great-great grandfather. 1/16th then. It was a guestimation mostly.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) 1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 so 4/12 + 3/12 + 4/12 + 1/12 = 12/12 = One person. /carry on Yeah. I did the math prior to posting that.

When you come back from your date, your friends ask, "JAMAICA?"

He meant: Why hate Jamey Carroll just because he's unphotogenic?

Maybe they deserve the division more than the Sox...

26. Alex Fernandez (6 of 27 lists - 88 points - highest ranking #5 Heads22) Bio by Heads22 and knightni - Alex Fernandez was drafted #4 out of Miami-Dade College in Florida in 1990 - the highest draft pick since Baines in 1977. He was a power pitcher who dominated junior college and was considering transferring to the University of Miami before being drafted by the Sox. He was a workhorse for the Sox during their playoff run in 1993. He pitched 247 innings and won a career-high 18 games. Then, Fernandez dominated the American League in 1996, pitching 258 innings, striking out 200 batters. Alex was the ace for the Sox in the early to mid-90s - about the time I was starting to get into following baseball, as well as the Sox. He was a natural pick for me - well, because we share the same first name. All I can say is that I thank God my first name wasn't Jason at the time... He left the White Sox in 1996 after his contract with them completed, and signed with his hometown Florida Marlins for 5 years/$35 million. He helped lead the Marlins to their 1997 World Series Championship but missed the entire 1998 season following a rotator cuff injury that he sustained in the playoffs. He came back in 1999 and won the Comeback Player of the Year Award but retired; at only 32, after the 2000 season, when his shoulder never fully recovered from the injury.

I'm glad that Floyd could pick him up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) He must have 15 plays this season that he's botched that he didn't get credit for an error on. He continues to prove what a joke the Gold Gloves are.

Cabrera with another excellent defensive play.

Heck of a pickoff move.
