Are you kidding me? Rizz and Sosa over Sandberg? Jenkins? Fuck that

rodman?

congrats on being triggered by clickbait filler bullshit... it's almost like the list was imperfect by design to generate discussion... hmm

yeah that is another bad one.

this cannot be argued except for which canadian ice soccer season was technically best. CH will tell us.

Exactly what I was thinking. Championships matter, of course. MVPs do when you are considering individual accomplishment.

Also, Artis Gilmore's bust would be nearly impossible to adequately carve in stone.

Luke Appling deserves to be on the Sox list over Buehrle or Konerko.

Even with Frank there is an argument that Buehrle is the greatest player in White Sox history.

No.

I loved Buehrle, but he isn't even the greatest pitcher in White Sox history.

_________________

Croissant with the dumbest sports thought of the month award. Frank was a slam dunk 1st ballot hall of famer. 2 time MVP. Buehrle doesn't have a single CY young and he will never sniff the hall of fame. Lay off the cognac.

Buehrle is one of the most prone-to-greatness players of the last 25 years. As great as Frank Thomas was, he has no feats that come close to anything in the top 5 Buehrle moments.

Being recognized as the most valuable player in the league for an entire season, twice.

On the field.

Buehrle (no particular order)
1. set MLB record for consecutive batters retired
2. faced the minimum twice
3. greatest defensive play ever by a pitcher
4. earning a save in the WS after drinking few beers (and also earning a win in a start earlier in the same series...)
5. threw a complete game in an hour and a half in today's baseball

Thomas has no individual moment that is as memorable as any one of those. Nothing even to take away from Thomas, name me a player of the last 25 years in all of baseball who can claim those of types of accomplishment together.

The Bears.

Ryne Sandberg is in the Hall of Fame. We'll see about Rizzo. Maddux would be on that list if they hadn't let him sign with the Braves.

Winning an MVP/CY Young >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>No hitter/Perfect game.

Look at the list of guys that have thrown perfect games/no hitters. It's littered with bums. Edwin Jackson threw a no-hitter once.

Should have been 3 for sure, possibly 4.

Didn't he walk like 9 people?

Jordan , Payton , Mr.Wrigley, Minnie Minoso

Phil Humber threw a perfect game too. Should we canonize him?

If Phil Humber also had the rest of Buehrle's body of work definitely yes.

Roenick and Chelios are 1a and 1b on the Hawks list.
