Predominantly batting in the leadoff spot, Ray Durham was with the Chicago White Sox for the first eight seasons of his MLB career.

Chet Lemon was a First Rounder by the Oakland Athletics, but before e could make the main roster, he was traded to the White Sox.  He would win the starting Centerfielder job in 1976 and showed a balanced game of offense and defense.  Lemon was twice named an All-Star with Chicago (1978 & 1979), and in '79, he led the American League in Doubles with 44.  With the White Sox, he had four double-digit Home Run years and batted over .300 three times.  He also had three years where he had a Defensive bWAR over 1.0 three times.

Dick Allen might be most commonly associated with the Philadelphia Phillies, but it is was with the Chicago White Sox where he played the best three consecutive seasons of his life.

While the name of Tommy Thomas is certainly alliterative, it is also owned by a very good Pitcher. 

Frank Smith debuted as a Rule 5 Draft Pick in 1904, and he paid immediate dividends in his first two seasons with 35 Wins and with both of his seasons seeing him secure top ten finished in ERA.  It was a good start, but there was a valley before he would hit the mountain.

“Black” Jack McDowell was the fifth overall draft pick in 1987, and he was able to make the White Sox for four starts that year.  He played in 26 Games the following season, but injuries and rehab kept out of the parent club throughout 1989.  McDowell returned in 1990 with a nice 14-9 season, but that was just the harbinger of things to come.

Sherm Lollar arguably had the misfortune of playing at the same time as Yogi Berra, who was considered the best Catcher of the American League.  Lollar would not match with Berra offensively, but with his defense, he was right there among the best.

Drafted with the number one Draft Pick in 1977, Harold Baines made his White Sox debut in 1981.  Baines would never evolve into an excellent (or even average) defensive player, but that is why he stayed in the American League, where he would be regarded as the sweetest hitting Designated Hitter.

Gary Peters signed with the Chicago Cubs before the 1956 season, and he was likely frustrated as he would be called up briefly in each of the 1959 to 1962 seasons. 

Paul Konerko was one of the most popular players in White Sox history, and when you hit as many Home Runs as he hid did, it was easy to see why.

From Venezuela, Luis Aparicio was signed as an Amateur Free Agent in 1954, and two years later, he was the first Latin American player to be named the Rookie of the Year.  The Shortstop would lead the American League in Stolen Bases with 21, and he would swipe more bases than anyone else in each of the next eight years, six of which were with the White Sox.

The ace of the White Sox staff throughout the first decade of the 2000s, Mark Buehrle relied on his finesse and ability to get batters to hit themselves out.  As it would turn out, he was damned good at it!

Ozzie Guillen debuted in the Majors in 1985, and he would become the American League Rookie of the Year.  Guillen affixed himself as the White Sox' starting Shortstop for well over a decade, and he would be named to three All-Star Games while smacking s solid 1,608 Hits for the franchise.

Johnny Mostil would play all 972 of his Major League Games with the Chicago White Sox, and for a brief time, he was considered one of the quickest players in the game.

After five seasons playing in the National League with Brooklyn, the American League was formed, and many players jumped to the upstart league.  Fielder Jones was one of those players.

Carlton Fisk is one of those rare players that both versions of the “Sox” can make a claim as one of their own. 

After 1,078 Games, seven All-Star Games, and an American League Pennant, Fisk began the second half of his career when he signed with the White Sox as a Free Agent for the 1981 Season.

Playing all but the final year of his career with the Chicago White Sox (which would only be 5 Games), Ray Schalk was known for his defensive skills and innovation, but more importantly, his dedication to winning.

Oh boy.

We know the story of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, the simple country boy who was as gifted a player as there was in the late 1910s, and one of the eight players who threw the 1919 World Series in the “Black Sox” Scandal.  We’ll get there.

You could say the Thornton Lee was a late bloomer in the Majors, as he did not get his first pitch in the bigs until he was 26 with Cleveland in 1933.  Lee was traded four years later to the pale hose in 1937, and after a pedestrian stay with the Tribe, he was set to break out in Chicago.

Nicknamed the “condor” for his condor-like delivery, Chris Sale played his first seven games in the Majors with the Chicago White Sox.
