cabiness42 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Top 10 hitters: Frank Thomas Luke Appling Eddie Collins Nellie Fox Minnie Minoso Paul Konerko Carlton Fisk Robin Ventura Harold Baines Magglio Ordonez Top 10 pitchers: Ed Walsh Ted Lyons Red Faber Mark Buehrle Billy Pierce Wilbur Wood Bobby Thigpen Ed Cicotte Joe Horlen Jack McDowell I always have a hard time slotting the two groups in together. I'm pretty sure I'd put Frank overall #1, but don't know where I'd go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wow. Looking at the results, the people who are voting don't seem to have a clue. Frank #6? Ed Walsh #48? I mean the man only has the lowest career E.R.A. in baseball history. Eddie Collins #25? I put my top 5 as Thomas, Jackson, Collins, Walsh, Appling.

tonyho7476 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 So far konerko is Number 1. After Frank I went with Shoeless Joe and then Fisk. After that I struggled and gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've always felt that people don't appreciate Collins near as much as they should. He was not only one of the great White Sox, but one of the greatest players, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My top 5: 1.Frank Thomas 2.Paul Konerko 3.Mark Buehrle 4.Luke Appling 5.Ted Lyons Buehrle's ranked so high only because I grew up with him in a Sox uniform and he's my favorite pitcher. I guess "my generation's" Billy Pierce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's hard to do a Sox list cause a lot of the old timers are in the Hall of Fame and it's hard to vote for people I never saw play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I don't see how you can not put Billy Pierce at least in the top 10, let alone off the list, or have Luke Appling as low as number 13. This is just going to be a popular contest for Sox players in the last generation or 2. QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) I've always felt that people don't appreciate Collins near as much as they should. He was not only one of the great White Sox, but one of the greatest players, period. Very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
