Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Chicago Whute Sox.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the White Soc posted only 41 wins and was one of the worst teams ever to disgrace the diamond. Nobody from the ’24 roster came close to breaking the top 50; however, there is one new entry, a former player who appears here based on the latest algorithm.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.
1. Frank Thomas
2. Luke Appling
3. Ed Walsh
4. Ted Lyons
5. Red Faber
You can find the entire list here.
With the new algorithm, Lee Tannehill enters at #49.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Last year, the White Sox did not make the playoffs, and we had no new entrants. For the first time ever, the only change was lowering a player based on the past year!

The only change was a first for us. Tim Anderson had such a bad season, that he dropped from #43 to #48. We have dropped players one spot before, this is unprecedented, especially for a team with as long as a history as the White Sox.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
Luke Appling would play his entire career with the Chicago White Sox, which would span 20 years. Debuting with the Sox in 1930 after his contract was purchased from Atlanta in the Southern Association, he played sparingly that year, though he would see more action the season after.
