Dear Zero:

Ron Karkovice. Frank Thomas. Luis Aparicio. Joe Crede. Those are just off the top of my head.

None of them currently play on the Sox, however. I wonder if he even knows that Ozzie Guillen is the manager.

I can't get audio here, but I heard yesterday that he mispronounced "Comiskey Park" twice.

Post by: NHSparky on April 07, 2010, 08:21:22 AM: As I understood the question, it was as he was growing up. Plus most of those players were from AFTER he moved to Chicago.

FWIW, I bet he couldn't name three current Cubs players, either.

Oh, and just in case someone wants to call me out on MY faves:

ANGELS Faves: (all-time)

Bobby Witt
Jim Abbott
Chuck Findley
Gary DiSarcina
Garrett Anderson
Nolan Ryan
David Eckstein

Current Angels faves:

Mike Napoli
Joe Sanders
Howie Kendrick
Torii Hunter

Post by: Ralph Wiggum on April 07, 2010, 08:39:40 AM: Remember, he thinks Cubs fans are not real baseball fans. Therefore, he probably could care less who plays on the team.
