Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who had his second consecutive 40 home run, 100 RBI season in 2005, hit one of only 18 grand slams in World Series history, and was the pinnacle captain of that championship team throughout the season?

Answer: Paul Konerko

 Always a fan favorite on the Southside of Chicago, when he comes to bat you could always loudly hear the fans chant "Paulie, Paulie". It sure was thrilling watching him hit those 11 post-season home runs (including a grand slam in game two of the World Series) and catching the final out to clinch the Championship.
2. In 2005, this young pitcher had a break out year. He ended up with an 18-10 record, sporting a healthy 3.50 ERA, made his first all- star appearance, and he was one of four White Sox pitchers to pitch a complete game in the American League Championship Series. Who is he?

Answer: Jon Garland

 Though he was previously always suseptable to the "big inning" the White Sox stuck with their talented young starter and it paid off big for them. After a stellar season Jon Garland was a pivotal part of the "Mount Soxmore" rotation that carried the team through the playoffs.
3. This outfielder hit .274 in 2005 with 31 home runs 86 RBIs in 145 starts with the Sox. He wore number 23 (like another certain Chicago hero) and was a vital offensive element in the World Series? Who is this player?

Answer: Jermaine Dye

 He only won the MVP hitting .438 in the four games. Jermaine Dye was picked up in the 2005 off-season to replace departed fan favorite Magglio Ordonez in right field.
4. Who was the only Sox relief pitcher to make an appearance during the American League Championship Series?

Answer: Neal Cotts

 This reliable left-handed reliever went 4-0 in the regular season with a 1.94 ERA. He pitched scoreless 2/3 of an inning in the only loss the Sox had in the postseason, a 3-2 loss to the L.A Angels in game one of the ALCS.
5. This infielder had an up and down year in 2005 hitting .252 with 22 HRs and 62 RBIs. Yet number 24 was reedemed by his absolutely remarkable defense and postseason play. Who is this World Series champion?

Answer: Joe Crede

 After coming of the disabled list with a fractured finger, he hit .371 in September and October combined with some game saving defense in the postseason. He also hit home runs in both games one and three of the World Series.
6. This starting pitcher had a rocky regular season going 9-9 with a 5.12 ERA before being being replaced by promising rookie Brandon McCarthy. He redeemed himself with some astonishing bullpen work in the postseason. Who was this White Sox pitcher?

Answer: Orlando Hernandez

 "El Duque" had his moments of glory throughout the season but none more stirring that his work during game three of the American League Divisional Series. He managed to pitch his way out of a bases loaded no out jam against the tough Red Sox offense, to preserve a one-run lead and inevitably give the White Sox their first playoff series win since 1917.
7. A new aquisition in 2005, this player batted .257 with 56 RBIs and a career high 18 HRs. He hit a HR in four consecutive games from May 14-18 and had a .999 fielding percentage at his position throughout the regular season? Who is this player?

Answer: AJ Pierzynski

 He had many key plays throughout the play-offs, including a key two-run double to cap a five-run fifth in game three of the World Series.
8. This pitcher ended the regular season with a 15-7 record and a 3.61 ERA. After a less than stellar first half, he broke out in the second half going 11-2 with a 2.96 ERA. He also started the first game of all three postseason series. Who was he?

Answer: Jose Contreras

 After a rocky career with the Yankees, Jose established career highs in 2005 in victories (15), starts (32), inning pitched (204), and strikeouts (154). Contreras got the ball rolling in the postseason with a 14-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox in game one of the ALDS and a victory over the ledgendary Roger Clemens in game one of the World Series.
9. This player lead the team with a .290 batting average and also lead the major leagues with 39 infield singles and 16 bunt hits. The team struggled without him when he went on the disabled list mid-season with a groin injury. Who was this player?

Answer: Scott Podsednik

 Left fielder Scott Podsednik was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Sox for Carlos Lee in the offseason. Podsednik went 507 regular season at-bats with out a home run only to hit two in the postseason, including a game-winning, walk-off home run in the ninth inning of game two of the World Series.
10. While hitting from the bottom of the order, this player hit .252 in the regular season and had a career high of 71 RBIs in 2005. His RBI production not withstanding, this player was most noted for his bullet of an arm and his showcase defense. Who was he?

Answer: Juan Uribe

 Juan Uribe was plugged into the shortstop role after the Sox lost error prone Jose Valentin to free agency. After being a utility infielder for much of 2004, many people questioned his ability to play the position full time. Yet his rocket of an arm saved many a game for the Sox and his two defensive gems in the ninth inning of the deciding game four of the World Series quickly quieted all critics.
