Good morning!
Tim Anderson walked off the Yankees in memorable fashion Thursday night, giving the Sox a 9-8 victory in front of a national audience. Per Baseball Reference's Stathead database, that's the fourteenth game in franchise history where the White Sox have hit a walk off home run against the Yankees.
While it may have been the fourteenth such occasion against the Yankees, it is the 151st time overall the White Sox have hit a walk off home run against an opponent. Today's Sporcle, as the headline suggests, is all about those walk off home runs: you're tasked with naming the players responsible for the dingers. How many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted the full 20 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the date of the game, the opponent, and the position the player played during the game in question.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The franchise leader with the most walk off home runs has 8 such events.
- The White Sox have never walked off an opposing pitcher more than twice.
- A White Sox second baseman hasn't walked it off for the team since July 3, 1978. Maybe Cesar Hernandez can change that.
