TED LYONS, STARTING PITCHER
Over his 21 big league seasons, all with the Sox, Lyons recorded a franchise-best 260 wins and 356 complete games.
He led the AL in victories twice and won 20 or more games three times. Lyons pitched 4,161 innings in a Sox uniform, the most in team history. The Hall of Famer also had a career batting average of .233 (Really good for a pitcher).
HOYT WILHELM, RELIEF PITCHER
The Hall of Fame knuckleballer had his best seasons with the Sox. In five of his six seasons on the South Side (the Cubs are the North Side due to the location of their ballpark), Wilhelm never posted an ERA higher than 1.99.
He had three seasons with 20 or more saves for the Sox, including a career high 27 in 1964. His 0.93 WHIP is the best in team history.
