Good morning!
Luis Robert, Jr. recently finished quite the home run tear, going deep in four consecutive games. On the season, he’s already accumulated 12 dingers (one behind Adolis Garcia for the A.L. lead) while logging an .893 OPS and amassing 2.2 bWAR.
Looking back through recent White Sox history, this is the first time a White Sox batter has homered in at least four consecutive games since 2017; before that, the feat was accomplished in 2013. Suffice to say, this isn’t exactly a common occurrence for the franchise.
Today’s Sporcle will test you on other instances where a White Sox batter has gone deep in at least four consecutive games: in all, there are 29 player-seasons. How many can you name? Good luck!
