All-Time Chicago White Sox Home Run Derby Simulation / As we gear up for the Chicago White Sox Home Run Derby, it's worth noting the historical significance of the seasons these players represent. Carlton Fisk, who played for the Sox from 1981 to 1993, is perhaps best remembered for his 1985 season when he hit 37 homers, a career-high. Harold Baines, a consistent power hitter, had his best years in the mid-80s. His 1984 season was particularly impressive, with 29 home runs and a .304 batting average. Frank Thomas, often referred to as 'The Big Hurt', dominated the 90s, with his 1994 season standing out - he led the league with 38 home runs despite the season being cut short by a strike. Paul Konerko, who played from 1999 to 2014, was a key figure in the White Sox's 2005 World Series victory. His 2004 season saw him hit a career-high 41 home runs. This Derby, therefore, is not just a contest of power, but a walk through some of the most memorable seasons in White Sox history.
