1981-1990 Lamar Hoyt, Carlton Fisk tie

2001- Was Magglio, but he made an ass of me defending him so I change it retroactively to Keith Foulke.

 

Others I really liked include Ed Cicotte and Shoeless Joe of Black Sox fame. Team mate Ray Schalk who was clean. Also Johnny Mostil, Ted Lyons, Bibb Falk, Lew Fonseca, Thornton Lee and Bullfrog Bill Dietrich from the lean years (20's 30's and 40's). From the Go Go era who can forget Jungle Jim Rivera and Minnie Minoso two real fan favorites. Nellie Fox, Looie Aparacio, Gary Peters, Joel Horlen, and Ted Kluszewski. Especially Fox and Kluszewski for not choking in a losing cause. From the 70's Wilbur Wood deserves a mention. So does Ken Kravec. What a bust he was but I sure liked him anyway. More recently Big Frank, Roberto Hernandez, Wilson Alvarez and Alex Fernandez are favorites. And last but not least Carlos Lee for being such a good cub killer.

I didn't follow the Sox until the 80's. I know my dad is a huge Nellie Fox fan, and my brother loved Chet Lemon for some reason.

 

But here goes my list:

 

80's: Harold, Fisk, Kittle, Walker, Jack McDowell, Ozzie

90's: Ventura (for many reasons), Thomas, Ordonez, Raines, Lance Johnson, Maggs, Ozzie, Albert Belle

00's: Thomas, Maggs, Rowand, Buehrle, Konerko, Lee, Freddy Garcia

 

 

Good Topic.

Shame on me for forgetting and thanks to you for reminding me. About Chet Lemon of course a big big favorite in the late 70's, and early 80's. I'm glad he got that WS ring in Detroit.

I've only been following closely since around 1992, when I was 10 years old, so I'll give my 90's and 2000 on.

2000: Mark Buehrle, Joe Crede, Joe Borchard
