Good morning!
Here we are just hours before the Sox face Cleveland in game one of the ALDS, and the roster seems up to the task. Chase Meidroth's emphatic three-run dinger helped seal the deal on a dusting of the Astros, and it also represented the most total bases in game by a White Sox hitter this series, with five.
While five total bases may not seem like much in the context of the regular season-- the Sox logged 99 instances of five or more total bases over the course of 162 games; Miguel Vargas led with eleven, in case you were wondering-- the postseason is a different story. Now including Meidroth, just 23 Sox batters have logged five or more total bases in a postseason game.
23 entries doesn't make for much of a challenge, so today's Sporcle will ask you to name the White Sox players throughout playoff history who have logged 4 total bases or more in a single postseason game. That's 65 entries: how many can you get? Good luck!
