Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who had his first career 40 home run season in 2004, and had been a token part of the roster for many seasons?

Answer: Paul Konerko

He was definitely a fan favorite in Chicago. He had a great season in 2004 with 41 home runs, 117 RBIs, and an overall .277 batting average.

2. His number was 33, he was a consistant part of the lineup in 2004 and was the Sox primary center fielder. Who was he?

Answer: Aaron Rowand

Aaron definitely stepped up and did his part to help the struggling Sox line up in 2004. He ended the season with a .310 batting average and hit 24 home runs, compared to his 2003 season where he only hit seven home runs. Quite an improvement.

3. This outfielder tied the franchise record with 28 consecutive games with a hit. He ended the year with a .305 average and 31 home runs. His number was 45. Who was this player?

Answer: Carlos Lee

This Panamanian player began his career with the Sox in 1999. He played left his entire career and had many career highlights with the Sox, including seven grand slams and a total of 121 home runs with the team.

4. This player joined the Sox after a late season trade in both 2003 and 2004. In 2004, he came from the Montreal Expos. He was a designated hitter in 2004, but also played outfield. Who was he?

Answer: Carl Everett

Along with Roberto Alomar, Carl Everett was traded to the White Sox just before the deadline two seasons in a row. Both made significant contributions to the team after the trades. Everett batted .260 in 2004 and hit seven home runs, including one on his first day back in White Sox uniform.

Answer: Frank Thomas

Frank Thomas went down with a broken foot midseason. He was on track for a great season before going down with the injury. He had been the marquee player for the Sox since he joined the team in 1990.

Answer: Magglio Ordonez

Losing Magglio was a huge loss to the Sox roster in 2004, and coupled with the loss of Frank Thomas was something the team never recovered from.

Answer: Joe Borchard

Joe struggled (.174 average with seven home runs and 20 RBI's) after he was recalled to replace Magglio in right field. Yet as that home run shows, he can show glimpses of greatness. I suppose only time will tell what Joe Borchard makes of his time with the White Sox.

Answer: Freddy Garcia

Freddy was a dominant pitcher for the Mariners for years when they had a better team. Receiving little to no run support, he came to the Sox with an 8-5 record. After taking up with the Sox, he ended his season with a 13-11 record and a 3.81 ERA.

9. This left handed pitcher had 14 or more wins for the Sox in the previous four seasons. Early in the season he was a possible all-star candidate, but lost out to a fellow teamate. Who was he?

Answer: Mark Buehrle

Mark Buehrle had struggled at some points this season along with the rest of the White Sox but ended the season with a 16-11 record and a 3.89 era.

Answer: Juan Uribe

Juan Uribe had been a valuble player on the roster in 2004. He came through in the clutch a lot and ended the season with a .283 batting average, and played some wonderful defense all season.
