All I can say is that the only Sox player I went out of my way to see every at bat was Frank Thomas. Granted that was in his heyday.

 

I've been in bars that would get quiet while Frank was batting. Basically everyone stopped and watched. He was amazing in the mid 90s.

Barry Bonds was the same way, and he isn't a favorite of mine either. It just means I respect his ability more than just about anyone else.

That was the exact example that came to mind, I just didn't want to draw any comparisons between the two. As the PED thing hits new levels, my respect for Thomas keeps increasing. Thomas will be in my Top 10 but give me someone like Minoso, Baines, Buerhle, or Baj who always seem to be having a great time playing baseball and love the fans any day of the week.

Never mind, looks like I'm too late.

 

I think he means tonight as in Wednesday night. At least I hope so cause I have yet to get my list in.

This is actually quite hard to do. The Sox have so many guys that were only on the team for 2 or 3 years, so even if I did like them, they lack longevity. They also were kind of a last stop for many players. The 1995 roster is really sad. Filled with guys who used to be someone. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/...=1995&t=CHA
