As Jim noted the other day, Daniel Palka joined the MLB Central show on MLB Network to talk about his power this season. Puttering around on Baseball Reference, I noticed that Palka has a decent number of extra base hits this season -- 32, prior to Friday's game -- and is 7th among all rookies in 2018. This got me wondering: where does that place Palka among White Sox rookies all-time? Turns out he's 37th all-time, with six weeks yet remaining in the season (and currently tied for 10th place on the White Sox rookie home run list). Your task for today: name the White Sox rookies who hit at least 30 extra base hits in a season. That's 49 names in all; good luck!
