If you watched any baseball this season, you might have heard: home runs are up, big time, and breaking records all over the place. Unfortunately for the White Sox, who finished with 182 dingers --paltry, when compared to the MLB team average of 226-- they have a home run problem. The top-5 Sox in home run production accounted for 68.6% of the team's dingers, so yeah, not good.
But! Every position player on the Sox but two accounted for at least one home run this season, which is good for me, because it creates the opportunity for a new Sporcle. As the headline describes, today you're tasked with naming each Sox player who hit at least one home run for the team during the 2019 season. That's 19 names total, how many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- It's a short list, so I've allotted just 4 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the number of home runs for each player, and their position.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- Just six teams finished with fewer than 200 home runs this season. (The White Sox finished 25th)
- Coincidentally, the White Sox also hit 182 home runs last season.
- As a team, the Sox haven't hit 200 home runs in a season since 2012.
