Had a tough decision for my win on August 8, 2023. I considered Greg Walker but ended up going with a rare 1990s player, since I didn't watch much baseball and boycotted the new stadium beyond opening night tickets and free tickets late in the decade.
I selected Jack McDowell to honor, for his great pitching on behalf of the team including a playoff team and a should have been World Series team before Jerry Reinsdorf destroyed the hopes and dreams of not only White Sox and Montreal Expos fans, but baseball fans around the world. I also selected Jack McDowell for exposing lifetime cheater Tony La Russa, for his elaborate schemes of stealing signs from the scoreboard before going onto much larger cheating schemes with Balco, the Oakland Athletics and the Saint Louis Cardinals.
