2. Luis Aparicio (10-time All-Star, 9-time Gold Glover, 1956 Rookie of the Year)
3. Carlton Fisk (11-time All-Star / 4-time with CWS, 3-time Silver Slugger, #2 in all-time HRs over the age of 40)

Re: Top Three Franchise Players- White Sox

My three are Frank Thomas, Luke Appling, and Carlton Fisk. I had a hard time because I wanted to add Shoeless Joe Jackson to the list too.

Honorable mention goes to Billy Pierce, Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio, Minnie Minoso, Robin Ventura, Harold Baines and any member of the 2005 World Series winning club. (Which ended our 88 year drought.......our drought was longer than the Red Sox 86 year dry-spell but, didn't get as much publicity for some odd reason.)
