The Chicago White Sox have had some great players through the years but some people have come through at different times that you may not remember.

Michael Jordan finished his career with the Washington Wizards despite becoming one of the greatest athletes in world history with the Chicago Bulls. In the NHL, Martin Brodeur finished his career with the St. Louis Blues despite becoming a hockey legend with the New Jersey Devils. Things like this happen all the time in sports. The White Sox have been involved.
