Good morning!
The 2025 Charlotte Knights used an insane number of players over the course of their season: 94 in total. The tagline for this team ought to be a plug-and-play edit of the famed lines from Emma Lazarus' famed sonnet, The New Colossus:
Give [the Charlotte Knights] your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.....
If ever there were a Sporcle that might top last season's 2024 Sporcle on that season's White Sox roster, this might be it. (Tune in next week for the 2025 version of that quiz!)
Full credit goes to Jim Margalus for this particularly demented idea (his accurate phrasing, not mine) of a quiz: think of it as a practice run for the MLB version next week. There is a fair amount of overlap in names. As usual, though, I ask: how many can you name out of those 94? Good luck (you're gonna need it)!
Quiz Parameters
- I'm not so heartless that I wouldn't allot you less than the full 25 minutes on the timer.
- For hints: in the left-hand column, I've listed games for pitchers and plate appearances for batters, in descending order. The right-hand column is my best guess at position (aside from pitcher, which I left simply as "P"): I did my best to take into account playing time at the many positions many of these players occupied, and go from there.
Useful information which may serve as a strategy for getting some of these guys:
- Try to think of players who appeared on the MLB roster and went on rehab assignments, shuttled back-and-forth, or were sent there to work on things.
- Some guys on this list were from other organizations whom the Sox either claimed or were otherwise acquired in trades.
- It will likely also help to think of rookies who were called up and contributed to the 2025 Chicago White Sox.
