Number 41 goes to Tom Seaver. He is a Hall of Fame pitcher with 311 career wins and 3,640 career strikeouts. The reason that Tom will always be remembered in a White Sox uniform is win #300.
Tom was with the White Sox from 1984 until June 29, 1986. In that time he had a record of 33-28 with 296 strikeouts. 1984 and 1985 were great years for Tom. When he started the 1986 season off with a 2-6 record, he was shipped off to Boston for Steve "Psycho" Lyons.
There would be no Cy Youngs and no trips to the All-Star game in a White Sox uniform, but Tom's 300th win will always be remembered by White Sox fans. Sox fans always appreciate a guy who has a strong work ethic and gets results. Tom was finishing off a brilliant career and Chicago was lucky enough to host that for two and a half years. No other number 41 comes close to Tom Terrific.
