Happy Halloween, everybody. 2020 has been a year filled with mostly tricks, so I'm going to start this holiday off with a treat. Well, depending upon where you stand with getting quizzed on players of past and present perhaps you'll find it less a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and more a pile of stale candy corn. I digress.
Beginning today and running through some as-yet established Saturday, you'll be quizzed on the leaders in various hitting and pitching categories for the White Sox going back to 1990. Everybody likes a good dinger, so we'll start things off by taking a look at the team leaders in home runs. To qualify, a player must have hit 20 or more home runs in a year. That makes 97 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the year and the number of home runs hit.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The high-water mark for number of unique players in a single season to hit 20 or more home runs is 6, in 2008 and 2004.
- 1990 saw no Sox player achieve 20 that season. (Carlton Fisk came closest, with 18)
- 2015 is the only season in which just one player hit 20 or more home runs.
