Numerous others deserve honorable mention. A certain unnamed outfielder from the Detroit Tigers lost his place in my own personal White Sox Hall of Honor. In the meantime keep it up 2005 White Sox. Make history. Why not us?

c'mon what's with you 3 not even giving Maggs a dishonorable mention? even though the separation was somewhat ugly, he still gave us 6 damn good years.

 

O_O

 

Now that I think about it, I lost interest in the Sox before last season. I didn't watch many games for a long period of time. I had no idea Maggs was with the Sox so long........

 

(Just so you guys know, now I am a die-hard Sox fan, more a fan now than I ever have been, and it's gonna stay that way. GO SOX!)

My top few are kind of tough. Maggs definitely lost some points because of his ugly departure. He was basically an unquestioned #1 at this time last year.

 

1) "Shoeless" Joe Jackson- great player that probably got a raw deal

2) The Big Hurt- Was the man in the early 90's when I was growing up

3) Maggs- I really liked him when he was on the Sox. A quiet, unassuming guy with a ton of talent that was really underrated. Too bad everything went so wrong.

4) Buehrle

5) El Caballo

6) Garland- always been a fan, even through the frustrating moments

7) Mike Cameron- not sure why, but I liked him a lot as a kid

8) Jason Bere- my Dad and I really got to like him during that 93-94 stretch

9) Jack McDowell- was solid for the Sox, but was never really a personal favorite

10) Ventura- same as above.
