MLB players who spent their entire encyclopedia-attributed career with the Chicago White Sox — ranked by seasons of service. Tenure is the span the corpus attributes.
MLB players who wore the Chicago White Sox crest along the way but played for three or more franchises in all — the well-traveled careers this club was one chapter of. The count is distinct canonical franchises.
Every position room Chicago White Sox has passed down, steadiest first. The DH room is their most stable — 2 holders across 26 years, a new one every 13 on average.
Four franchise-defining careers: VAL weighted by attributed tenure share, with a bounded bump for verified Hall of Fame and recorded award evidence.

Monument Timeline — who held it, season by season
1901–2026 · 3 handoffs
The holder in a season is the player with the most accumulated era-adjusted value (VAL) across attributed franchise seasons through that year — whole seasons only, never a depth-chart claim. A claim needs 3+ attributed seasons; unsettled through 1902. Relocated eras carry forward with the franchise.

Stadium, market-population, title and handle data are curated public facts (Wikipedia/Census/official league facts). Fan Interest, Barometer and reach tier are transparently derived from those facts — weighted (market 0.4, venue 0.2, titles 0.25, heritage 0.15), min-max within MLB — derived structural proxy, not a survey. No fan survey, sentiment scrape, or follower count is used.
+2 more rooms with a shorter average hold.
Room tenures, not starting jobs — the corpus has no per-season depth chart, so holders can overlap (a successor often arrives before his predecessor leaves) and the measure is how often the room changed hands. A holder is a player who produced real value for this club during his years here, which is what separates holding the room from being on the roster. Detected from per-season VAL (1901–2026 here; league coverage is complete from 1999) — rooms the corpus cannot value are not shown.
+395 more one-club men with the franchise.
+1,169 more well-traveled players who wore the crest.
126 seasons — roster, team totals and best players by VAL for each.
