Numerous others deserve honorable mention. A certain unnamed outfielder from the Detroit Tigers lost his place in my own personal White Sox Hall of Honor. In the meantime keep it up 2005 White Sox. Make history. Why not us?

Now that I think about it, I lost interest in the Sox before last season. I didn't watch many games for a long period of time. I had no idea Maggs was with the Sox so long........

 

(Just so you guys know, now I am a die-hard Sox fan, more a fan now than I ever have been, and it's gonna stay that way. GO SOX!)

I loved Matt Karchner, then they traded him for some flop 1st round draft pick from the Flubs

I will skip my favorites who were stars. Too easy.

 

Kevin Bell pre knee injury

5. Robin Ventura

6. Carlton Fisk

7. Paul Konerko

I have to mention my man Olivo played his heart out over here.

Ken Berry

Dick Allen

Bill Melton

Gary Peters

Oscar Gamble

Walt Williams

Big Frank

Mark Buehrle

Smokey Burgess

My top few are kind of tough. Maggs definitely lost some points because of his ugly departure. He was basically an unquestioned #1 at this time last year.

 

1) "Shoeless" Joe Jackson- great player that probably got a raw deal

2) The Big Hurt- Was the man in the early 90's when I was growing up

3) Maggs- I really liked him when he was on the Sox. A quiet, unassuming guy with a ton of talent that was really underrated. Too bad everything went so wrong.

4) Buehrle

5) El Caballo

6) Garland- always been a fan, even through the frustrating moments

7) Mike Cameron- not sure why, but I liked him a lot as a kid

8) Jason Bere- my Dad and I really got to like him during that 93-94 stretch

9) Jack McDowell- was solid for the Sox, but was never really a personal favorite

10) Ventura- same as above.

5&10 guys? That's easy:

 

Frank Thomas.

 

 

He's the only guy on the squad whose been on the team for 5 yrs, & in the league for 10. :P

Carlton Fisk

Luis Aparicio

Gary Peters

Dick Allen

Bill Melton

Frank Thomas

Robin Ventura

Hoyt Wilhelm

Jack McDowell

Ken Berry

 

That's 10 off the top of my head. I didn't give it all that much thought.

Harold Baines

Carlton Fisk

Robin Ventura

Frank Thomas

Magglio Ordonez

Carlos Lee

Mark Buehrle

Ron Kittle

Wilson Alvarez

Alex Fernandez
