The Chicago White Sox are not specifically part of today’s Immaculate Grid.

The teams for the current grid are the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, and Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Immaculate Grid’s right corner square asks for a Hall of Famer who hit .300 in a season from any club.

The Chicago White Sox have some options you can go within that quadrant.

Luke Appling had 13 seasons where his average was over .300. In fact, his career batting average is .310.

Minnie Miñoso had 10 seasons averaging .300 or better. Although, he ended his career with a .299 career-hitting average.

Ken Griffey Jr. only played a half of season on the Southside, but he had eight seasons where he was over .300.

Nellie Fox may have been known for his glove, but he also had six seasons where he hit .300 or better. His career high was .319 in 1954. He also hit .300 in 1959 when the Sox went to the World Series.

Chicago White Sox players that can be an answer in Friday’s Immaculate Grid.

Harold Baines’ induction into the Hall of Fame was controversial, but he makes the list with five seasons hitting better than .300.

Tim “Rock” Raines also had five seasons with one coming in 1993 when he was the lead-off hitter for the AL West champs. The other four came when he was on the Montreal Expos.

Larry Doby broke the color barrier in the American League. He had four seasons hitting over .300 although none came in his four seasons on the Southside.

Jim Thome hit the .300 mark in three seasons although none came when he was with the Chicago White Sox.

Carlton Fisk and Luis Aparicio each hit .300 in a season.

Finally, Frank Thomas, probably the great hitter in Sox history, had nine seasons. He won the batting title in 1997 and a career-high .353 in 1994. It could have been higher had the season not ended prematurely because of the players’ strike.
