lostfan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Who do you consider the team leader, face of the franchise, heart of the team, whatever you want to call it, however you define it. We had Frank Thomas, then Paul Konerko. Who's that guy for you, currently? Edited April 16, 2021 by lostfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Currently, it has to be Abreu. He's a long-time guy who's been with the team through transitions and stuck with them. He deserves to be Mr. White Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the moment in the sun where everyone loves Yermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I agree with Jack, though. Abreu is the lead by example guy, the elder statesman that shows kids the ropes and serves as the foundation. But Tim is the on-field/dugout leader that is going to get the team AND the fans fired up. He's my Mr. White Sox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d say if you ask the team/people within the organization it’s Jose But in terms of fans (especially nationally) and the media Id say it’s TA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think it's Jose of course. My Mr. White Sox of all time: Minoso, just as Banks is Mr. Cub, Minnie is Mr. Sox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry's instilled the family culture that makes this organization run top to bottom, Kenny's assembled a WS roster as a GM, Ricky's built a well-oiled machine, and Tony's a God of the game. All have a case to be the "face of the franchise", which is why I prefer a Mt Rushmore to accommodate all 4. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounding_Third Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 If it was like Blackhawks, I would give the C to Jose and the two A's to Tim & Lucas with Carlos/Yoan next in line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
