Is there any place the White Sox aren't extremely popular in?
From all the White Sox hats you see in California, to Illinois and Indiana, and now Arkansas!

"After a 1991 hip injury on the field ended his football career, Jackson focused on baseball, and expanded into other pursuits, including the completion of his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn. In addition, Jackson appeared in small roles as an actor, in TV shows such as 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air'[3] and Married... with Children,[4] and films such as The Chamber."
It is safe to say his popularity is from his KC Royals/LA Raiders days. But hey you still have Albert Belle.
Quote:
Belle was involved in several controversial incidents during his baseball career. In 1986, he went after a heckler in the stands who was shouting racist insults at him and was suspended from the College World Series. In 1991 he threw a baseball into the stands, where it struck a fan who had taunted him by yelling, "Keg party at my house, Joey," a reference both to Belle's prior nickname and alcohol problem rehabilitation.[citation needed] He was suspended in 1994 for using a corked bat, and gained further notoriety for sending teammate Jason Grimsley through the building's ceiling panel to break into the locked umpires' dressing room to retrieve his corked bat and substitute it with another teammate's bat, resulting in a seven-game suspension. The revelation of Belle's use of corked bats was given more emphasis when Cleveland teammate Omar Vizquel wrote in his autobiography that it would be naive to suggest otherwise and that "...all of Albert's bats were corked."[5] He was fined in 1996 for knocking down Brewers infielder Fernando Viña, who had blocked his way between bases. He also had unpleasant interactions with the public, once chasing down rowdy trick-or-treating vandals who were celebrating Halloween by throwing eggs at his home, hitting one of the vandals with his car.
Makes Melky Cabrera look like D.Jeter.
