Ranking the top 10 Chicago White Sox players of all time

1. Frank Thomas, 1B, 1990-2005

Thomas is one of the most imposing hitters in MLB history and the greatest White Sox player of all time. “The Big Hurt” won back-to-back AL MVPs (1993-94) and leads the franchise in most statistical categories, including home runs (448), doubles (447), RBIs (1,465), runs created (1,770), runs scored (1,327) and more. Thomas became the first White Sox player to hit 40 home runs in 1993 and had his best MLB season the next year (strike-shortened 1994 season) when he batted .353 with 38 home runs and 101 RBIs en route to his second consecutive AL MVP. The five-time All-Star helped Chicago win the 2005 World Series despite being injured during it and his No. 35 jersey was retired by the White Sox in 2010 before a statue of him was unveiled at U.S. Cellular Field in 2011. In his first year of eligibility, Thomas was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
