While this mention of Ken Frailing’s death on August 25 will be relatively brief, he was still a notable figure in White Sox history.
Frailing was part of just the second draft class in White Sox history, taken in the fifth round in 1966. While perhaps not an endorsement for the early draft success of the franchise, Frailing was just the third White Sox draft choice (behind Paul Edmondson, taken in 1965, and top Sox pick of 1966, Carlos May) to achieve a positive WAR for the club.
Frailing had a brief but effective tenure with the White Sox, and major league career.
