Good morning!
Last week, Jim posted this year's crop of non-roster invitees (so far). As is tradition around these parts, there is then a corresponding Sporcle Saturday to go with that post. Through newspaper archives and the wonderful Internet Archive Wayback Machine, I've managed to find confirmed White Sox NRIs going back to 2001.
Thus, you have Jim's list of NRIs from 2010-2024, and another chunk of names I've unearthed from 2001-2009. Your task is to try and remember as many of these guys as you can. Given the (dubiously) historical number of NRIs the Sox used last year, in all this quiz now has 139 names. How many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I’ve allotted 25 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I’ve provided the year and the position of the player.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- Pitcher is the most common position to appear, comprising 71 of the 139 entries.
- The fewest NRIs to appear in a season is 2, in 2010 and 2002.
All names from either Jim, a variety of historical and current newspaper sources, or the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
