Sporcle Saturday: Everybody’s favorite hit

(Keith Allison / Flickr)

A few weeks back, VaChisox suggested a theme for a future Sporcle: Sox leaders in everybody’s favorite type of hit, bunts. Well, I’m here to say: “ask for and ye shall receive”; alternately, that may also be construed as “be careful what you wish for”.

Regardless of your feelings on the topic, Baseball Reference does contain a split category for bunts, at least going back to 1988. So, today’s Sporcle will take a look at bunts: who are the bunt leaders for the White Sox, at least since 1988? How many can you name? Good luck!

Quiz Parameters

  • I’ve allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
  • For hints, I’ve provided length of tenure, number of bunts, and position of the player in question.

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:

  • The average triple-slash, as you would expect, is so worthless it’s amusing: .529/.529/.529.
  • The most bunt hits over this period of time is 38, which two players achieved.
  • The most RBI from one player is 12, while several players recorded 0.
