White Sox Week: A.J. Pierzynski

Now there is really only one reason to add A.J. Pierzynski to this list. Of all of the players on the White Sox, only one person has a personality that barely rivals Ozzie Guillen's. And that person is A.J. Pierzynski. He is known more for being an instigator or controversial figure (especially on that 2005 World Series-winning team). But he is good talent at the catcher position and may be one of the better pitch-callers behind the plate. He is a decent defender (though nowhere near Golden Glove-ability), and he provides a steady left-handed presence at the plate. But he is a character and he makes the game fun to watch. He may be hated outside of the South Side, but as a White Sox fan, we can't help but embrace the big personalities on the White Sox, whether it is the highly-outspoken Ozzie Guillen or the controversial A.J. Pierzynski. For the road, one more iconic picture of the baseball player, which all Angels fans would have engraved in their head.
