Entering Friday night’s game against the Angels, Eloy Jimenez has knocked out 24 home runs on the season, which is good for sixth-best all time in franchise history. Just four more will give him third place, and at 22, he’s the youngest to hit that many for the Sox in quite some time (you have to go back to the ’60s to find comparable ages).
Today’s Sporcle will celebrate this accomplishment: in franchise history, 35 players have hit 10 or more home runs in a single season for the White Sox. How many can you name? Good luck!
