Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Chicago Whute Sox.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the White Soc posted only 41 wins and was one of the worst teams ever to disgrace the diamond.  Nobody from the ’24 roster came close to breaking the top 50; however, there is one new entry, a former player who appears here based on the latest algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.

1. Frank Thomas

2. Luke Appling

3. Ed Walsh

4. Ted Lyons

5. Red Faber

You can find the entire list here.

With the new algorithm, Lee Tannehill enters at #49.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

1972 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 26 years thus far.

For “1972,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1965. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots. 

30 Votes took place.

Debuting for the Chicago White Sox in 1903, Lee Tannehill played his entire MLB career with the team, mainly used at Third Base and occasionally at Shortstop.

Tannehill was a light hitter but was strong defensively, even leading the American League in Defensive bWAR  twice (1909 & 1911), he was a four-time leader in Assists at Third, the two-time leader in Double Plays Turned at Third, and a three-time leader at Range Factor per Game at Third.  Offensively, he accumulated 833 Hits, but was still important in the White Sox capture of the 1906 World Series.

The NFL is the largest football league in the world, and it spares no expense when it comes to taking care of its athletes. Football stars are paid hundreds of millions of dollars across the board yearly. This money, along with the money they get from endorsements and other commercial sources, allows them to live a luxurious and glamorous life. However, not every football star gets the same amount of money yearly. Some earn much more than others, and we will discuss their luxury lifestyle in this article.

The Luxuries Money Can Buy

With access to incredible wealth, football stars can afford to stay in the most expensive mansions and drive the best sports cars and private jets. Some of them even have an Indiana Car Accident Attorney on retainer in case they get into tight spots while driving their luxury cars. How much do they earn, and what do they spend most of their wealth on? Let's find out.

Patrick Mahomes

This 29-year-old quarterback is a fan favorite who earns approximately $52.65 million per year from his club alone. His total take-home from the club includes his base salary, roster bonus, workout bonus, and restructure bonus. It doesn't include money from endorsements with Adidas and Gatorade or other sources of income he has as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Thanks to his wealth, he can afford a beautiful $1.9 million mansion in Kansas which comes with an indoor basketball court and a movie theater. His garage is full of luxury cars like Lamborghini and Ferrari. 

Aaron Rodgers

As the star of the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers is another luxury football star. He is a two-time MVP holder and earns enough to reflect it. The 41-year-old superstar has an estimated net worth of about $200 million. In 2024, he earned $38.2 million from his club and about $9 million from other ventures.

When he isn't on the field, he enjoys a luxurious life in his $5 million mansion in Wisconsin. The villa has a private beach and an amazing view of Green Bay. There are multiple luxury cars in his garage, including a Ford F-150 and a Porsche.

Russell Wilson

You can't talk about successful football stars without mentioning Russell Wilson. He has been a quarterback since 2012, and it doesn't look like he will stop anytime soon, even if he is currently 36 years old. With an estimated net worth of over $165 million, Wilson can afford to quit now and continue his life of luxury. In 2024 alone, Wilson got paid $39 million and earned $10 million from endorsements with Microsoft and Nike. 

Wilson has a beautiful $6 million mansion in Bellevue featuring a private golf course and a direct view of Lake Washington. He owns a Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and other luxury cars. 

Conclusion 

Football stars work hard to entertain their fans, often at great expense to their health. It's only fair that they get adequate compensation for their hard work. The quarterbacks in this article are just a few of hundreds of stars who enjoy a luxurious life because of their talent.
