Good morning!
Miguel Vargas continues to be a revelation this season. Entering Friday evening's slate of games, Vargas leads the American League in runs scored with 91. Should he continue his pace (cue Josh telling you to pound on the nearest block of wood!), he'll become the first White Sox to score 100 runs in a season in twenty years.
With apologies to roke1962, who last week asked for a different type of quiz related to Miguel Vargas (we'll get there, I promise), today's Sporcle will ask you to name the other batters throughout White Sox franchise history who have scored 100 runs or more in a season. That's 64 player-seasons: how many can you name? Good luck!
