Juan Uribe didn't know names of most '05 World Series teammates

Juan Uribe might be one of the most beloved players from the 2005 World Series champion White Sox, but when it came to knowing the names of his teammates, the all or nothing Uribe often times struck out.

“He didn’t know anybody,” said A.J. Pierzynski, who played with Uribe in Chicago from 2005-2009. “One time, we played Name Your Teammate with him and he could only name three guys on the team. It was Buehrle. He called him ‘Bailey.’ He knew me. I think he knew Jermaine (Dye) and PK (Paul Konerko). He said, ‘Oh, PK, you’re El Capitan.
