Trucking on through the lineups the Sox have sent out for Opening Day since 1980, we reach a Sporcle containing the most positions thus far: the outfield. With three positions to name, and nearly 4 decades of lineups, that gives us 117 entries. How many can you name? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- This is a pretty big list, so I've allotted the full 20 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided each player's position, and grouped by year for convenience.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- As one might guess, right field was the most consistent of the outfield positions for the White Sox during the '80s: just two names manned the 9 position over that decade.
- Left field was more fluid, as nine different players started in the 7 position during the '80s.
- The left fielder starting in 1986 had not played the position since 1981. It was one of 41 starts in left fielder in his career (31 of which came with the White Sox during the 1986 season).
