I will never *not* be surprised that Grudzielanek finished his career with over 2000 hits

The mostly all White Sox edition, save the two one-team choices.

Though Lou Brock did briefly work in the White Sox broadcast booth in the early 80s

All Chicago edition, as Eddie Collins is the only member of the 3000 hit club to suit up for the White Sox.
Rarity score of 5

Nearly all White Sox edition. For that ninth square, as our old friend Hawk Harrelson used to say, "You gotta be bleepin' me!"

I’m not 100% sure, but it might have been Double Duty Radcliffe? I know he lived in the south side after his playing days

All Chicago edition. Only eight players participated in the Negro Leagues and eventually played in MLB for the White Sox.
Rarity score of 9

Thanks to SABR, whose article from a few years back on this subject for the Cubs and Sox I just happened to re-read over the weekend.

A little unsurprising, given former GM Kenny Williams' long time fascination with those 1990s Cleveland teams, but the top answers for the entire top row would have worked for the White Sox bit

I didn't realize Junior ever played first base. That knowledge could have lowered my score a bit.

That 30/30 row was tough while committing to the bit. Only four members of the club have played for the White Sox and trying to judiciously spread them across three spots killed my score.
