Who was the last White Sox player to hit 40 Home runs in a season.

Nope. This was my thought as well as an FYI.

FYI, I haven't looked yet. Really struggling though.

Frazier?

I was just about to post Dunn myself until I saw it was incorrect. 

Maybe Frazier? 

Yeah I think I did stumble across Frazier hitting over 40 in a season with us recently and was shocked. Has to be him. It's not Abreu so the rest are slim pickings since Frazier (or Dunn in 2012 for that matter.)

Yup. 

I saw him just hit a homer and it was his 18th of the year. I thought, wow that's low for a powe guy in today's game. Then I looked up his stats with the sox because I thought he hit 38 one year but it was actually 40. And i didnt remember the guy hitting 40 Homer's 4 years ago because the past four years have been that bad. Amazing he hit 40 Homer's and had like a 760 ops.

If true, it is lol. I know for a fact Dunn did. Since that was incorrect I assumed it was somebody after him. Thought Frazier as I know Abreu never hit that many (and LaRoche was garbage lol).

When you asked the question, I was trying to think of guys it could have been and forgot about him that's how bad they've been haha.

Yeah, its amazing that not many even remembers. That's a combination of todd not doing anything else good so it not being memorable, and the sox being so bad that our brains have pretended these years never happened.

I've blocked out anything positive besides Sale, Q, Abreu and Eaton from the pre-rebuild days lol

Fun fact: the Sox have never had a  single season 50 HR hitter. Name the player that came closest, and the year he achieved it.

The year he had almost 100 xbh. I dont remember which year that was - his first or second with the sox. 1997 maybe

It was 1998. He only played for the Sox in 97 and 98.

The White Sox have only had 3 Cy Young winners in team history. Name them, and the year in which they won. If you watched beer money Tuesday during the rain delay this should be easy.

Incorrect on the 2nd. McDowell in 93 is correct. El Narco finished 2nd to Roy Halladay in 2003.
