Good morning!
With the playoffs finally here, and no further roster surprises forthcoming, it's time to bring forth an annual Sporcle: remembering who contributed to the 2021 regular season roster. This season, 47 players spent time in Chicago and that number is generally right in line with the last several years:
- 2020: 48
- 2019: 47
- 2018: 51
- 2017: 51
- 2016: 50
- 2015: 40
The squad was split darn near down the middle, as it featured 24 position players and 23 pitchers. Well, 26 pitchers if you count the three position players who pitched (we won't). So this week's Sporcle challenges you to name those 47 players. How many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the number of games each player appeared in, and their primary position.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- At 796 runs scored, this team had the most since...the 2008 White Sox, who scored 811.
- With just 634 runs allowed, you have to go back to 1990 (not including the shortened 2020 or 1994 campaigns) to find a White Sox team that gave up fewer runs (633).
