caulfield12 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Why not Buerhle, AJ, Pods and Rowand? Or the entire 2005 team photo? Or Thome/Konerko/Dye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Still like the idea of Q, Abreu, Moncada and Giolito. Two current and two future players just sounds right. Can't say I understand why a player we couldn't wait to get rid of is now on the banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 While we appreciate everyone's feedback we've decided to go in another direction, instead of highlighting the exciting young players in the org the site banner will instead be honoring heroes of years past. First up: White Sox legend Adam Dunn, i think all can appreciate his contribution to White Sox history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Adam Dunn is what caused this rebuild! They finished 12 games out of a playoff spot so they needed help, but it's funny to think how different this could all be if Adam Dunn didn't have the worst season in the 140 year history of baseball.

The ultimate s***-show. Why do you hate Albert Belle ? He had one of the greatest seasons in Sox history and then were able to get rid of him before he got hurt ? Win Win . In 1998 Belle had 399 total bases . The most Frank Thomas ever had was 364 . Trout and Willie Mays never got that high. Hank Aaron reached exactly 400 once. Pujol's high was 394. That 1998 season was a historic year for Belle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate anyone but Belle is and always was an asshole. I spent alot of time at the Cell that year in what I think was called the lower deck reserved in LF. Belle was an asshole to fans as well as the Sox bullpen pitchers. Witnessed that first hand on more than one occasion. Then there's the stories of him being an asshole in the clubhouse , just ask Lofton and Thomas. No doubt Belle had an incredible year but Belle was always about Belle first and foremost. The prick always had a chip on his shoulder for some reason or another. As good as he was I was glad when he opted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to tag Belle and Belle tagged him with a huge elbow . At the time loved it. Not sure the 2nd baseman completed the throw to 1st but the ump called the out for interference or something. Now that's a team player ! He definitely had some Ty Cobb in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember the play. Respectfully disagree on the team player thing. 25 Albert Belle's in the same clubhouse would never take the field because they would be brawling each before game time.

BlackSox13 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Like both equally Kalaspe but I would go with Q for the time being so he can be honored for the rest of his days as a White Sox pitcher. IMHO, Q has earned it. Once Q is traded we can switch to the Anderson, Rodon, Moncada banner. Again, great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
