Pre-Baines White Sox Homer Leaders

Posted by Chris J. on August 25, 2007

The White Sox, historically have not been a power-hitting team.  In fact, in their first 8 decades, they only had 22 guys hit 50 dingers for them in their franchise history.   And only 3 over 100, the highest was a measly 154 (the mortal Bill Melton).  Keep in mind, that's career info.  To compare:

The Senators were always a sucky team, but the Was/Min franchise had 25 over 50, and 5 over the the White Sox leader through 1979.

The Browns also sucked. Yet the StL/Bal team had 5 guys with more homers than Bill Melton.

And the Yanks? They had their share as well.

    [...] Chris’ recent post about various teams with guys having at least 50 career homers gave me an idea about how to use the PI, and it worked. [...]

    This post inspired a neat idea about how to find leaders like like by each franchise in one search. See the link in comment #1 above.
