Infielder Nick Madrigal is one of 182 players to play for the Cubs and White Sox.One-hundred eighty-two players have suited up for both the Cubs and White Sox, a list at cubsbythenumbers.com tells us.
Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is on the list as Chicago’s major-league teams square off Tuesday and Wednesday on the South Side.
Most of the 182 are afterthoughts for one team or the other — and sometimes for both. Few think of Goose Gossage with the Cubs and/or Scott Sanderson with the Sox. Still, there are nine who played two or more seasons on both sides of town and totaled at least 700 at-bats for each — one more than Juan Pierre had in his one season with the Cubs.
