Landslide MVP winner in 1972 when he led AL with 37 HRs and 113 RBI and was third in batting (.308, 10 points from the triple crown) as Sox, 22 1/2 out in 1971, were 2 games out with 17 to play. Hit .345 with 1.210 OPS vs. top seven Cy Young Award vote-getters in '72. In 1974 he led the AL with 32 HRs, was seventh with 88 RBIs and 10th in average (.301) despite missing final two weeks with acute disinterest.

5. Joe Jackson (1915-1920) All-Star Games: NA "Shoeless Joe" already was a legendary figure with a .375 career average in five seasons with the Cleveland Indians when he was traded to the White Sox at 25 in 1915. He hit .340 in five-plus seasons with the Sox�he's still their all-time leader in career average�winning two pennants and the 1917 World Series. He was still in his prime, hitting .351 with 96 RBI in 1919, then .381 with 121 RBI and an AL-leading 20 triples in 1920, when he was banned from baseball for his part in the Black Sox scandal.

A mainstay at second base on the Go-Go Sox teams of the 1950s, Fox won the AL MVP award in 1959 when he was fourth in batting (.306), second in doubles (34), drove in 70 runs and won the Gold Glove to spark Sox' first pennant winner since 1919. Hit .375 in the World Series. Singled off Sandy Koufax and scored only run in 1-0 win in Game 5 that kept Sox alive. Hit .300 or better six times and ranked in the top-10 in the AL in average seven times from 1951-59. Second behind Appling in hits (2,470). Struck out 192 times in 8,486 at-bats (1 per 44 at-bats), he was the toughest batter to fan in the AL 11 times.

3. Eddie Collins (pictured left, 1915-26) Hall of Fame: 1939. All-Star Games: NA Though more renowned for his days with the Athletics, when he won four pennants and three World Series from 1910-1914, Collins played more seasons (12) with the Sox, hitting .300 or better 10 times, winning two pennants and one World Series. Second behind Joe Jackson on Sox all-time list in career average (.331). Hit .344 or better five times, with a high of .372 on ill-fated 1920 team.

The Sox’ all-time leader in hits (2,749) and second in RBI (1,116) and runs scored (1,319), ‘‘Old Aches and Pains’’ was one of the best hitting shortstops in baseball history. Nearly 50 years after his final game, he still ranks fourth among shortstops in career hits, second in OBP (.399), seventh in average (.310) and eighth in RBI. Won the AL batting title in 1936, when he hit .388 (still the best ever for a shortstop), had 128 RBI (the most ever for a shortstop at the time) and was runner-up to Lou Gehrig for the MVP award.

1. Frank Thomas (1990-2005) All-Star Games: 5. One of the greatest hitters in baseball history whose standing among the best of his time is only enhanced as a "clean" hitter in the steroid era. Sox' all-time leader in home runs (448), RBIs (1,465), runs scored (1,327), doubles (447), on-base percentage (.427) and slugging percentage (.568). Also ninth in batting average (.307). AL MVP in 1994 and 1995, second in 2000 to steroid-user Jason Giambi and third in 1991 and 1997. In his first 10 full seasons, Thomas averaged .320, 33 HRs, 115 RBIs, a .439 OBP and .604 SLG. Played small but key role in 2005 prior to season-ending injury, with 11 HRs, 21 RBIs in 72 at-bats in 24-9 stretch that increased Sox' lead from 3 1/2 to 10 1/2 games en route to their first World Series title in 88 years.
