Good morning!

As Josh and Jim outlined on the most recent Sox Machine podcast, right field remains the White Sox' Goldbach Conjecture. Players come and players go, but the constant is an invisible revolving door rotating in right field which keeps the right field player line moving.

Since Adam Eaton's departure over the 2016-2017 offseason, 53 player-seasons have been tried in a vain attempt to get someone to stick. This season has seen 10 different guys log time at nine, after 8 the year before, and 11 the year before that. Today's Sisyphean task is to try and name all 53 of those player-seasons. How many can you get? Good luck!

Quiz Parameters

  • I’ve allotted ten minutes for completion attempts.
  • For hints, I’ve provided the year and the number of innings for each player.

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:

  • The highest OPS logged from any of these players –among meaningful playing time, at least– was .810.
  • That same player is responsible for logging the most total bases of the players on this list, 398 over two seasons. The next-highest is 112. Spread over five seasons.
