Good morning, White Sox Saturday Sporclers! For likely the ninth consecutive season, the White Sox will begin Opening Day starting a different second baseman. If many of us have our druthers, however, it’ll be the start of new streak at second. At shortstop, the incumbent will begin his fifth straight Opening Day start, though he has a way to go to catch the all-time leader, who started 13 consecutive Opening Days.
Yes, this time around the diamond shifts to the middle infielders. Since 1960, who has started Opening Day up the middle? There are 122 entries, how many can you name? Good luck!

- For hints, you get…well, what you’ve been getting: the Opening Day date and everybody is grouped by year.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The franchise record for most Opening Day starts at shortstop is 14, by Luke Appling. Consecutive starts on Opening Day, though, as noted above, is 13, from 1985-1997.
- The first-ever Opening Day second baseman for the franchise? The wonderfully-named Dave Brain.
- As for the first-ever Opening Day shortstop, that honor belongs to Frank Shugart, and was to be the last season of his career.
