Need a White Sox fix?
Beginning today, and continuing each Thursday, we will pay tribute to White Sox standouts of the past, highlighting a different letter of the alphabet each week.
Today we begin with seven popular Sox players whose last names begin with the letter A — Jim Abbott, Tommie Agee, Dick Allen, Sandy Alomar Jr., Wilson Álvarez, Luis Aparicio and Luke Appling.

A native of Flint, Michigan and a University of Michigan product, Jim Abbott was a one-of-a-kind marvel who pitched in 10 major-league seasons with four different teams despite being born without a right hand.
