September 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:06 AM) It's like debating if sushi tastes good or if Kerouac is the greatest American writer. How can you debate someones favorite? Poor example, Kerouac is clearly not the greatest American writer.
September 20, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) Where is Thome? He missed the list.
September 20, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) He missed the list. That's kind of ironic. Thome is one of my favorite players in baseball, but he's a Tribe guy in my mind. I totally respect him.
September 20, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) He missed the list. Where would he have been ranked? 51st? 52nd?
September 20, 200817 yr Thanks for doing this great project. Was happy to do my tiny part. THANK YOU!
September 20, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 02:44 AM) Where would he have been ranked? 51st? 52nd? Probably in the 70s.

September 20, 200817 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 11:38 AM) Please tell me Jurassic got some votes. I fully expected him to be decently high. Crazy Carl would have been ridiculously high on my list. Top 10 probably.
September 20, 200817 yr Author El Duque, Jurassic, Oscar Gamble and a few others just missed. I'll do some math tomorrow afternoon and print #51 - the rest.
September 21, 200817 yr QUOTE (BobDylan @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) Poor example, Kerouac is clearly not the greatest American writer. Clearly not? Hmm, I wouldn't go that far. I'd go probably not, no great poems, no truly great short stories, he only redefined novels. FWIW and since YAS coughed up his 1. Carlton Fisk 2. Harold Baines 3. Wilbur Wood 4. Mark Buerhle 5.

September 21, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) Wonder who gave Blum the vote and ugh, I'm mad Jurassic didn't make it in. Heads22
September 22, 200817 yr Marte? The second half of the 05 season made me lose any liking I ever had for him.
September 22, 200817 yr Ugh, how could I leave Cal Eldred off my list? I just realized I did. He was really the first pitcher I idolized, which I guess is kind of pathetic.
September 22, 200817 yr Oscar Gamble was so likeable. I wonder if I remembered to put him on my list.
September 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Oscar Gamble was so likeable. I wonder if I remembered to put him on my list. That zero of the Southside Hit Men made the list surprised me.
September 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) Marte? The second half of the 05 season made me lose any liking I ever had for him. What did he do to make you stop liking him?
September 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) That zero of the Southside Hit Men made the list surprised me. He was the oldest player to make my list. Literally one of the first players I can remember from my childhood.
September 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) He was the oldest player to make my list. Literally one of the first players I can remember from my childhood. After thinking about it, the biggest issue I saw with voting for those guys is their short White Sox careers.
September 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) What did he do to make you stop liking him? 5.03 ERA and 16 walks in 19.2 innings during the second half of 2005. I cringed every time I saw him enter a game.
September 23, 200817 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) With all the hate Javy is getting the last few days about him not being a "Big Game Pitcher", it makes me think people forgot the problems Marte had. My favorites were more lasting than strictly performance based. If that was the case, we could just have had the greatest players to play for the Sox list.
