March 4, 201214 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) How can you put Ron Hansen and not Peters or Horlen? Hansen was a horrible baseball player. I did include Horlen and Peters on my original list. Hansen was not horrible and in fact was a Twins killer. I always remember the Twins announcers crying in their beer when Hansen came to bat in close games gainst those Twinkies. Ron Hansen and Tim Cullen were involved in trades for themselves did you know that? Cullen was with the Senators and he and Hansen were traded for each other and then during the season traded back for each other if that wording makes sense Edited March 4, 201214 yr by elrockinMT
March 4, 201214 yr QUOTE (sunofgold @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 04:01 AM) Time to make this harder. Pick your ultimate favorite White Sox player. #1, Numero uno. Only one choice, one player. No ties. Like the Academy Awards, you all made some great nominees and now pick your winner. Managers and coaches are in play. This is hard. My ultimate favorite White Sox player is Ozzie Guillen. Like his humor, craziness, unpredictability..but at the same time he loves the game and respects it. Brutally honest even if I don't always agree with his opinion. Getting us to the promise land in 2005. And of course enjoyed watching him play defense at SS. What a character. Whew, that was hard. So many other White Sox players that I had to turn my back on. haha! That is hard- one player- but I go back to my first involvement with baseball as a kid and 1959 and Nelson Fox. My first baseball glove was the Nelson Fox model. Edited March 4, 201214 yr by elrockinMT
March 4, 201214 yr Responding to that list, Bobby Jenks at #6 is a laugh. Even having Willie Harris and Brian Anderson on the list is funny. Willie Harris scored the winning run but what else did he really do for us? And BA was a great defender but couldn't hit. But then I did say that I like everybody from the 2005 team. Definitely we still had a 2005 hangover when voting in 2008.

Definitely we still had a 2005 hangover when voting in 2008. There was a very long, involved argument about accomplishments and how that factored into favorite. Your favorite food may not score high in nutritional value, your favorite car may not win races or offer best in class safety performance, but they are your favorite.
March 4, 201214 yr I can't pick one player. My fandom divides into three eras. The 80s The 90s Post 2000 80s - Fisk with Baines a close second 90s - Ventura with Thomas a very close second 00s - Buehrle with Konerko a close second
March 4, 201214 yr 70s - Dick Allen 80s - Greg Luzinski 90s - Frank Thomas 00s - Jim Thome 10s - Paul Konerko Overall - Thomas edges out Allen

Paul Konerko

Paul Konerko Almost the same 60's Luis Aparicio 70's Wilbur Wood 80's Carlton Fisk 90's Frank Thomas 00's Mark Buehrle Right Now ... Paul Konerko Overall Buehrle
