Rowand44 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) No real definition, I just didn't want the thread to be people arguing about what is a "star" and what is not. I wasn't arguing for the record, just putting my reason across really. Good calls on Graff and Wunsch by whoever brought those up. Loved both of those guys. And as Tex said, Graff made me love him even more after game 2 of the ALDS in 05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Stars or not, I always gravitate towards the catchers. It was "my" position, and it doesn't matter if it's Fisk or some rookie that may only play a season or two, I always like 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 One more I just thought of: Scott Radinsky, because he was the first South Bend White Sox (now SilverHawks) player to make it to the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have won it all if you didn't lose the last game of the season. You would have outscored your first round opponent and then me in the finals.

caulfield12 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 01:32 PM) Gary Redus was a guy I really WANTED to like. He had insane speed, I remember seeing him do something I've only seen him and Rickey Henderson do - steal 2nd while the pitcher was holding the ball. He also had some power. But he just couldn't get on base enough - wild, hacky swings. Gary Redus A Bedtime Story Claudell Washington Shawn 'Lil Abner Matt Merullo Scott Radinsky Wayne Edwards (because he was part of Stick Figure with McDowell) Wayne Hagin/John Rooney Dave Wills Eddie Williams Ivan Calderon McKay Christensen (don't believe the hype!)

He's not dead yet, is he? Or maybe I was thinking of Joe DeSa or one of the other relievers of that time period, Ernesto Escarrega or something was his name?

BigEdWalsh Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 02:58 PM) I always liked Scott Fletcher and Jose Valentin. Ron Hansen and Pete Ward too I remember some years ago I worked with a guy around my age who grew up within blocks of Comiskey Park and used to play fast pitch against the outside wall of the ballpark. He said Pete Ward would often talk to the kids and even play with them (please don't think anything perverted). He was a real nice guy. Good call on whoever mentioned Salome Barojas and Kelly Wunsch, two I forgot to mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 One of my favorite players I remember cheering for and liking as a kid was Danny Tartabull. He only played the 1 year, but I just loved him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe I was thinking of Joe DeSa or one of the other relievers of that time period, Ernesto Escarrega or something was his name? I don't think Gallagher is dead he was a young outfielder in the late 80's and had a hitting aid called the Stride right or something like that. According to wiki he is alive and living in Trenton NJ. Edited September 25, 2013 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
