Gary Peters signed with the Chicago Cubs before the 1956 season, and he was likely frustrated as he would be called up briefly in each of the 1959 to 1962 seasons. 

Forget about Robin Ventura’s face meeting Nolan Ryan’s fist.  This was a very good Major League baseball player who was a former first round pick and was a two-time All-Star, the first one being with Chicago.

You could say the Thornton Lee was a late bloomer in the Majors, as he did not get his first pitch in the bigs until he was 26 with Cleveland in 1933.  Lee was traded four years later to the pale hose in 1937, and after a pedestrian stay with the Tribe, he was set to break out in Chicago.

Paul Konerko was one of the most popular players in White Sox history, and when you hit as many Home Runs as he hid did, it was easy to see why.
