With the James McCann signing official, the Sox have once again made a December free agent signing which involves a catcher. Assuming that McCann does indeed appear at the catcher position for the White Sox during the 2019 season, he'll be the 62nd to appear for the team since 1980.
Today's Sporcle will take a comprehensive look at the other 61 players to appear at the 2 spot over the past ~four decades. How many can you name? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- As there are quite a few names to this Sporcle, I've allotted 15 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the tenure of the player, and the games they played for the Sox.
- To qualify, a player must have appeared at catcher for at least 70% of the games they played for the team (regardless of the number of games that might be).
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The all-time leader at the position in baseball history (minimum 70% games played at catcher) is Ivan Rodriguez, with 2543 games.
- As a follow-up to the previous bullet point, the White Sox have two players in the top-10 (# 2, #9).
