Good morning!
While the White Sox may have been swept out of Seattle, Thursday afternoon's game did feature a significant moment: Luis Robert, Jr. stole the 100th base of his career, giving him an even 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases. Curious to know just how many guys have done that? 293. Not too shabby to be one of just 293 out of a total of 23,555 players throughout MLB history! (That's just over one percent of all players)
In franchise history, Robert becomes just the fourth player to log at least 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases over the course of his White Sox career. The others will appear on today's quiz, of course; but, I was curious to see all the guys to have accumulated 100/100 and to have played for the White Sox at some point during their career. Turns out, that's 43 players and it's quite the fun list. How many can you name? Good luck!
