Who's wearing White Sox?

[VIBaseball]

This game is so popular and so much fun on other forums, a franchise with the long and rich history of the White Sox should be in on it too.

I'll start with a gimme for any longtime fan:

[Chisox73]

Good ol' #2,Nellie Fox.

[VIBaseball]

Sure is. Now here's another guy with a classic identifier:

[Chisox73]

Hmmm....

That would be good ol' #17 Oscar Gamble.

[VIBaseball]

Yes indeed. Now we'll get a little tougher:

[Chisox73]

Dick Donovan

[VIBaseball]

Nope...but your answer has something in common with the right answer.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Dave DeBusschere

[VIBaseball]

Well done...here's another Chisox player with a ready identifier:

[Chisox73]

The Big Man From Gary,Ron Kittle.

[VIBaseball]

Yes, that was Ron. Here's a distinctive player from the second Veeck era:

[Chisox73]

Good 'ol #13,Harry Chappas- all 5' 3" of him.

[VIBaseball]

Right again, Chisox73. Here's a link from 1997 telling what became of Harry. It's not so marvelous; I hope things have turned up since then.

The piece also mentions something I always suspected -- that Veeck billed Harry as being shorter than he really was for P.R. purposes. Harry says he's closer to 5'5".

Thanks for the link VI, I hope he's doing well also.
