Lip Man 1 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago One of the best and a part of three noteworthy White Sox teams. The 1967, 1972 and 1977 groups. A record setting relief pitcher before he became a record setting starter. Had the chance to interview him in 2005. Very nice guy. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/18/wilbur-wood-chicago-white-sox-obit/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago That’s sad. He started like half the games one year in my childhood. An all-time Sox great. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago An all time Sox favorite of mine, great knuckleball pitcher and a true workhorse throwing over 320 innings for 4 consecutive years and coming close in a 5th with 291 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melton1972 Posted 36 minutes ago Share Posted 36 minutes ago Sorry to hear this. Herrmann,Melton,Allen and now Wilbur Wood all passed. They were all heroes to me as a young White Sox fan. May they all rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted 36 minutes ago Share Posted 36 minutes ago (edited) I always found it odd that JRs ownership basically had nothing to do with Wilbur Wood. To the best of my knowledge he was never even invited back to Soxfest or any doings at the ballpark. If the White Sox ever have a Team Hall of Fame (like other teams have) Wood will be a White Sox Hall of Famer.
