March 1, 201214 yr Since there seems to be so much hate in that Alex Rios thread, I'm curious as to who peoples favorite White Sox players are. We love to hate certain players for odd reasons, so who are some random White Sox players you love? For me, Ray Durham is possibly my favorite Sox player of all time. Loved everything about him and got to meet him when I was a kid. Ray Durham Mark Buehrle Shingo Takatsu Mike Sirotka
March 1, 201214 yr Robin is my all-time favorite. Ozzie was on my list, as were Harold and Pudge. Recently it would have to be Buehrle.

March 1, 201214 yr It's weird but Frank never was a favorite. I couldn't help but stop and watch him play, but never a favorite.
March 1, 201214 yr my top 10 fav sox players Buehrle Frank PK Thome Black Jack Chet Lemon Harold Fisk Ozzie Ventura
March 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) It's weird but Frank never was a favorite. I couldn't help but stop and watch him play, but never a favorite. Me too. I respected the hell out of what he did, but never was my favorite.
March 1, 201214 yr Frank Thomas Harold Baines Mark Buehrle Jack McDowell Paul Konerko Ron Karkovice I have no idea why I liked Karkovice, but I did.
March 1, 201214 yr The good ones. I've respected Konerko and Buehrle as players and people, but I root for laundry.
March 1, 201214 yr Guys I saw play: Frank Thomas Magglio Ordonez Alexei Ramirez Ray Durham Mark Buehrle Mike Sirotka Paul Konerko Guys I didn't see play: Billy Pierce Buck Weaver I'm sure I'm forgetting people.
March 1, 201214 yr All-time list in no particular order: Ron Kittle Mark Buehrle Robin Ventura Harold Baines Paul Konerko Jermaine Dye
March 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) All-time list in no particular order: Ron Kittle Mark Buehrle Robin Ventura Harold Baines Paul Konerko Jermaine Dye Oh man, I can't believe I left Kitty off. I was obsessed with him for about two years until he fell off of the map. I still have the autographed pic with me and him we took in 1983 in Arlington TX.
March 1, 201214 yr Mike Caruso, Brook Fordyce, Buerhle, Konerko Caruso and Fordyce were when I was pretty young when I knew little about the game. Liked them because they gave me autographs.
March 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Me too. I respected the hell out of what he did, but never was my favorite. Does this make sense, Thomas was a favorite to watch, but not a favorite player? Buehrle reminded me that baseball is a game and should be fun Pudge reminded me that the game should be played right. Hard and fair. Baines just has so much integrity, too bad he was hurt Ozzie was flat out fun to watch play. Always playing with his heart on his sleeve. Robin always seemed to be trying harder than anyone else on the field, and needed to. Frank always looked unhappy. Like his talent was a burden. I sometimes include Bo Jackson but he never felt like a Sox player.
March 1, 201214 yr All time - Frank, i got into baseball in '93 and he was the biggest story in chicago baseball while I grew up. Past 10 years - Buehrle, was always fun to watch and always had a smile on his face. Current roster - Lilli, because why the hell not.
March 1, 201214 yr Author I figured Frank would kinda be a unanimous, no-brainier amongst all Sox fans. Hell, he's the reason I'm a White Sox fan.
March 1, 201214 yr Harold Baines Carlton Fisk Frank Thomas Looking at the different list you can tell what generation they were born. Edited March 1, 201214 yr by Soxfest

I'm with a lot of other poster, apparently. For some reason, Frank was never my favorite; I loved having him, just never fawned over him. Durham BlackJack Paulie Honorable mention: Griffey. He has always been my favorite player of all time. I don't care if he didn't do much for us (though he did his part in 163), I will die happy knowing that Ken Griffey Jr. graced our outfield for a minute.
March 1, 201214 yr Frank and Robin obv Kittle Officer Lance Johnson Ray Durham Jose Valentine Buehrle, Konerko, and Oooh-ribe
