The good doctor will ask again.  When did these curling babes get so hot?  This is especially true for the Russians, who gives us another sweeping sensation, Ekaterina Galkina.  
The good doctor thought the coastline of Holland was full of just dykes?  No, I wasn’t going for a bad joke there.  Anouk Verge Depre is another on the long list of Dutch athletes that we are into and again we have to find this beach on the Netherlands!

102. Paul Konerko

Paul Konerko is one of the most revered Chicago White Sox players of all-time, and he should be.  Konerko was the heart of a team that won the 2005 World Series and won the ALCS MVP in the process.  Konerko could hit for power (439 Home Runs), had 2,340 Hits, 1,412 RBIs, and a .486 Slugging Percentage.  

That is the good news.

Konerko’s defense was very poor, as was his speed, and he finished his career with a good (though far from Hall of Fame) bWAR of 27.6.  Still, this is a popular player with a solid career, and he received 2.5% of the vote in 2020.  He may never appear on a Veteran's Committee ballot, but he has a statue erected on the South Side, and in terms of “fame," he had it.
