The Toughest Man in Baseball

My vote goes to White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko.
On Thursday night, Konerko was hit in the face with a pitch from Twins pitcher Carl Pavano. Not only did Konerko stay in the game, he hit his 37th home run his next at-bat.
Most guys who get hit in the face, ok, all guys who get hit in the face leave the game. Konerko is not most guys.
Earlier this season I wrote a post about Konerko being one of the most underrated players in the game.
This season he's hitting .321 with 37 homers and 105 RBI's. I bet most people don't know that he has 363 lifetime homers and 1,150 career RBI's. And he's still underrated.
Too bad the White Sox as a collective aren't as tough as Konerko. The Pale Hose have lost 5 in a row and 8 of their last 10. Good bye Chicago, thanks for playing. Enjoy the post-season on TV and see you next February.
