Happy New Year to all, and to all: Welcome to a new year of Saturday Sporcle!
Seeing how today is the first Saturday of the year, I thought that the theme should be centered around new players. Your challenge for this week: name the White Sox batters who have logged at least 1 bWAR in their first season in the majors. In total, 35 names made the cut: about half are of recent vintage (1985-present); the other half will make you wish you paid more attention to Jim's White Sox history posts. Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- As always, last names only are accepted, as well as first and last. For several of the players, nicknames and/or first names will also be accepted.
- Since this list spans the entirety of White Sox history, I'm giving you a generous 15 minutes to attempt completion.
- For hints, I've provided the season, the bWAR logged, and the primary position(s) of the player.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confound, and/or sadden your friends:
- 11 of the players on this list finished in the top ten Rookie of the Year voting.
- From those 11, three went on to win Rookie of the Year.
- The youngest players on this list to make their debut were both 21, while the elder statesmen of the group led the way at the ripe old age of 30.
