ShareThisPre-Baines White Sox Homer Leaders
The White Sox, historically have not been a power-hitting team. In fact, in their first 8 decades, they only had 22 guys hit 50 dingers for them in their franchise history. And only 3 over 100, the highest was a measly 154 (the mortal Bill Melton). Keep in mind, that's career info. To compare:
The Senators were always a sucky team, but the Was/Min franchise had 25 over 50, and 5 over the the White Sox leader through 1979.
The Browns also sucked. Yet the StL/Bal team had 5 guys with more homers than Bill Melton.
And the Yanks? They had their share as well.
