Sporcle Saturday: Walkin’ it off

Good morning!

As I write this, the White Sox continue to be in a holding pattern for any sort of substantive news surrounding Dylan Cease (or other moves). Between the lack of activity and it being the middle of the offseason, I thought it might be nice to revisit some of the more exciting moments during the regular season: walk-off home runs.

The 2022 season, besides being a massive disappointment --and a harbinger of things to come-- was strange in that there were no walk-off home runs for the White Sox. 2023, however, saw two walk-offs which now gives the franchise 154 such events in their history.

So, that’s what today’s Sporcle is all about: the 154 instances where the White Sox walked off their opponent. How many can you get? Good luck!

Quiz Parameters

  • I’ve allotted 20 minutes for completion attempts.
  • For hints, I’ve provided the date of the game, position of the player, and opponent.

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.
  • Tampa Bay led the majors with 5 walk-offs last years.
  • Strangely --given the likelihood of cold weather-- April 2023 had the most walk-offs of any month during the season, with 13.
