Chicago White Sox All-Time Greats
The eight greatest to ever wear the black and silver, from Shoeless Joe Jackson to the Big Hurt.
From the deadball squads that won it all in 1906 and 1917 to Frank Thomas anchoring the modern order, the White Sox have fielded some of the American League's finest. Their 2005 championship broke an 88-year drought.

Frank Thomas
The Big Hurt won back-to-back MVP awards in 1993 and 1994 and blended power with elite plate discipline. He is the greatest hitter in franchise history with 448 White Sox home runs.
Shoeless Joe Jackson
One of the purest hitters ever, he batted .356 for his career, third-best all time. His banishment after the 1919 scandal made him a tragic figure of baseball lore.
