January 5, 200422 yr I'll help answer your question about Bradford, here are his "Lifetime Stats!!11 ML Seasons 226 Avg. 52 Hr's 175 RBI's "Impressive!!!" As far as Agee, he turned into a decent player, but with The sox he was rookie of the year in"67, backed it up with a 234 Avg, then Gone the next. Became a hero with The Mets.
January 5, 200422 yr My favorite "unsung" Sox players: Gary Peters Ken Berry Mike Hershberger Pete Ward I'm showing my age here.
January 5, 200422 yr Willie Kamm and Floyd Robinson. I like a lot of the other choices here. In a way, just to be a White Sox player or a fan is to be unsung. We are the red haired stepchildren of the sports world.
January 5, 200422 yr My favorite "unsung" Sox players: Gary Peters Ken Berry Mike Hershberger Pete Ward I'm showing my age here. Hershberger is an inspired choice
January 5, 200422 yr Bo Jackson hasn't been mentioned. he was certainly not unsung and wouldn't be my choice anyway I have never understood the big deal about the home run in 1993 - it was inevitable that we would clinch going into that game and someone would have gotten the hit to do it - not like that home run changed the course of anything - it just happened to supply the inevitable he did have very good marketing going for him however
January 5, 200422 yr Bo Jackson hasn't been mentioned. Bo Jackson was awesome while he was here. I remember hom quite fondly and he did get plenty of love from Sox fans during his stay here. I dont think he was unsung at all.
January 5, 200422 yr Ah the memories.... Eric Soderholm Greg Pryor Mike Squires Wayne Nordhagen Bill Nahorodny Wayne Tolleson Dick Tidrow Rich Wortham Craig Grebeck Paco Martin Greg Hibbard Scott Fletcher Kevin Hickey Vance Law Warren Newsome Mike Lavalliere
January 6, 200422 yr Hershberger is an inspired choice Thank you. He always was one of favorites when I was kid. The dude had a cannon hanging from his shoulder.
January 6, 200422 yr Good 'Ol Ron Karkovice! And in case you didn't know, he was an actor for a short time before his baseball career, and appeared in "The Wizard Of Oz." That's the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. I can't stop laughing, that is so perfect! I'll vote for Brian Downing, Eric Soderholm, Jim Spencer
January 6, 200422 yr First post on this board. BRIT BURNS - pitched his heart out in game 4 of the 1983 ALCS, I've hated Tito Landrum ever since. Richard Dotson - Overshadowed by Lamar Hoyt in 83, but I think he won 22 games and only lost around 6. the 77 Southside Hitmen. :fthecubs
January 6, 200422 yr WELCOME, SFS72! Dotson is a good choice - he always seemed to be overlooked when people talked about that 83 staff.
January 6, 200422 yr thank you, critic. My MLB name is nrthsdsxf (northside sox fan), but I plan on being here more, that place has gotten just too lame with all the trolls. I'll probably need help navigating this board so bear with me.

January 7, 200422 yr My MLB name is nrthsdsxf (northside sox fan), but I plan on being here more, that place has gotten just too lame with all the trolls. Sounds like my story too. I hate all those trolls.
January 7, 200422 yr Definetly Karkovice. He was one of the best defensive catchers in the AL circa late 80s early 90s. Excellent bunter as well as decent pop. Good enough to put Pudge 72 in LF (Thanks GM Hawk) Several Players on the 1990 team Fletcher- Eric King, King pitched a 3-0 shutout against Oakland in early June 1990 in Oakland. Made me know the Sox were for real that year. One-Dog steady in CF homer in the 93 playoffs. Floyd Bannister, caught fire in second-half of 83 and really solidified the rotation. He also later brought us Melido Perez and I think Greg Hibbard in a trade with KC in the 87-88 offseason.

January 7, 200422 yr Karkovice Ventura One Dog Ozzie Floyd Bannister Alex Fernandez Bobby Thigpen MilkMan
January 7, 200422 yr Eric Soderholm Britt Burns Jason Bere (for pitching like a man in the Toronto series, while McDowell pitched like a eunich) Bucky Dent
January 7, 200422 yr Karkovice Ventura One Dog Ozzie Floyd Bannister Alex Fernandez Bobby Thigpen MilkMan What? No deacon?
January 7, 200422 yr i really liked tim raines and karckavice alonge with ventura but my fav none superstar player of all time on the sox is jason bere
January 7, 200422 yr looking at all these names reminds me of all the nicknames Hawk has come up with over the years. There has to be no one better in the business for that than Hawk. Norberto "Paco" Martin, Greg Hibbard- the bulldog, Warren Newsome - the deacon, Mike Lavalliere - spanky, "Officer" Karkovice. One of my favories of all time wasn't an nickname for a player, but the name of Jason Bere's pitch, the "fosh". I still don't know what that pitch did.
January 7, 200422 yr WILBUR WOOD I’m like throwin’ f***in’ junk scraping the sides of the plate fluttering across broken winged accumulating insults & lounging in stale air I’m the junkballer & from a few feet away I look easy to hit but, friend, understand that my s*** explodes BOOM! & it sure as hell ain’t where you thought it’d be when you started that swing & yr fury fans the air impotent while my junk falls behind you, immaculate He once pitched both ends of a double header. Gotta love that. Brilliant work!
