"2011 White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko set a franchise record when he got an extra-base hit in his ninth consecutive game."

2024
"But here is a list of the winners, each total, and margin of victory: Team 1983 White Sox, 65%, +73 votes/51%2005 Moment Paul Konerko’s Game 2 World Series grand slam, 33%, +9 votes/5%Home Run Paul Konerko’s Game 2 World Series grand slam, 38%, +35 votes/23%Nickname Old Aches and Pains, 28%, +6 votes/4%Oddity Minnie Miñoso batting in his 50s, 36%, +10 votes/14%Multiple-Homer Game Dick Allen’s 2 inside-the-park HR in 1972, 44%, +29 votes/20%Broadcaster Hawk Harrelson, 34%, +18 votes/12% For the second straight ballot, the winner of the 2005 Moment was the same as the Home Run winner — last time out it was the Scott Podsednik walk-off."

2023
"Many players drafted at catcher end up moving to other positions - Dale Murphy, Craig Biggio, Paul Konerko, and Joey Votto, for example."

2022
"Paul Konerko NoDick Allen YesChris Sale No South Side Sox on the Field Never played, but because catchers are so important and involved in so many aspects of the game, that’s my pick."

2018
"Paul Konerko believes Jim Thome represents the "best of both worlds" as baseball Hall of Famers go."

2017
"I picked up the phone, and the person said, "Hey, this is Paul Konerko."

2016
"The Cubs loaded the bases and chased Tomlin one out into the third, and Russell stepped to the plate to deliver a decisive blow, as the team shared: According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Russell's grand slam was the first in franchise history in the World Series history and the first by any player in the Fall Classic since the Chicago White Sox's Paul Konerko in 2005."

2015
"The last trio to accomplish both feats was the combination of Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko and Jim Thome of the 2006 Chicago White Sox."

2014
"Although much of the baseball world is caught up in the Derek Jeter farewell tour, Chicago White Sox star Paul Konerko is also getting ready to step away from the game after 18 years."
