5 days to Opening Day, White Sox fans!
Two of my favorite White Sox players donned No. 5: Juan Uribe and Ray Durham.
While those two are the most recognizable White Sox No. 5s, some interesting players have donned it in the past.
How about …
–Carl Everett in 2003
–Ron Karkovice in 1987 and 1988
–Vance Law from 1982 to 1984
–Bobby Molinaro from 1977 to 1981
–Bill “Moose” Skowron in 1964
–Pat Seerey hit four homers in a game for the Sox wearing No. 5 in 1948
–Jimmy Dykes, the Sox manager with the most wins, wore 5 from 1934 to 1939
–Al Simmons wore No. 5 as one of the Sox first All-Star reps in the inaugural game at Comiskey Park in 1933
–Luke Appling … His first number with the Sox was 5 in 1931
