Yesterday, Josh wrote a great piece looking at the team's struggles getting on base dating back to the Greg Walker years. A hat tip to Josh for the idea, as today's Sporcle will piggyback off of that concept: since 2003, who has led the White Sox in getting on base? I've set the cut-off at .314, which is the lowest league-wide average OBP during that period. That leaves us with 60 player-seasons: how many can you name? Good luck!

- I've set the timer for 10 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints I've provided the year, the OBP, and the primary position(s) of the player in question.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confound, and/or confuse your friends:
- The worst OBP during this time for a Sox player with at least 502 PAs was Alex Rios in 2011, at .265.
- League-wide, the worst OBP for any player over this period was former Rios teammate Vernon Wells, .248 in 2011.
- SS Skeeter Webb holds the worst OBP in team history, with a .242, set in 1944...
- ...but the worst in MLB history goes to 1968 Giants SS Hal Lanier, with a paltry .222.
