White Sox Homerun hitters from A.J. to Zeke

Carlton "Pudge" Fisk
Today at my other blog, Home School Dad, I wrote about Old Comiskey Park, the home of the Chicago Whites Sox from 1910 to 1990. Carlton Fisk called Old Comiskey home from 1981 until the historic ballpark bit the dust and by the time it did, Pudge had become the White Sox all-time home run leader.
All told, Fisk hit 214 home runs for the White Sox from 1981 to his ignominious dismissal in the middle of the 1993 campaign. Note: I spent the year of 1993 abroad and it has been well documented (in my mind) that the White Sox would have never pulled shenanigan level antics like that, had I remained stateside. Fisk hit more than 55 % of his 376 Major league home runs with the White Sox. The rest came from the team where he hit this famous postseason home run. If you haven't seen it before you've never watched Good Will Hunting.
Fisk is now 4th most on the list of White Sox Home Runs. Fisks best 2 years for the White Sox, Homerun wise, were in 1985 when he hit 37, and in 1983 Fisks 26 homers helped win ugly. Wearing both colors of SOX, Fisk averaged 24 home runs for every 162 games he played. Carlton Fisk was inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 2000.
