Nick Madrigal, former All-American second baseman for the Oregon State University Beavers and the White Sox first-round draft pick in the 2018 Amateur Draft, reminds me of another former Sox second baseman. Someone famous. A little guy who provided a big spark. A guy with excellent bat control and high contact rate who rarely struck out.
Any guesses? For those of you 60 years old and older, you probably know who I’m talking about. 30-59, you might know. 29 or younger? Little to no chance.
The guy I’m talking about is Nellie Fox: 1997 inductee to the Baseball Hall of Fame and White Sox legend.
