 The Ballplayers - Jack McDowell | BaseballLibrary.com
Though his 1993 Cy Young Award was thought to be just the tip of his iceberg of talent, Black Jack became hampered by a plethora of injuries, and eventually saw his career fizzle as soon as it had caught fire, recording only about six seasons in which he was fully healthy.
After a disappointing '94 (by his terms) and outspoken comments about White Sox management, McDowell was traded to the Yankees for pitcher Keith Heberling and a player to be named later (outfielder Lyle Mouton).
Perhaps it was Black Jack's musician mentality, the side of him that dressed nattily, had a fashionable goatee, and toured with a rock band that caused these sporadic outbursts.

McDowell: In my teenage years, I didn't get to play much-I just dabbled in it and always was jealous of the kids forming bands in high school while I was running around doing 17 summer leagues of basketball, football, and baseball.
McDowell: There were always a couple of guys on each team who listened to similar music that I did, but there were not that many that were listening to The Replacements, The Smiths, and R.E.M. They were all, for the most part, country-music listeners, Top Forty, whatever's "in" slamming their heads on the radio.
McDowell: Even with all the positive reviews in the past with stickfigure, you can always tell that [critics] love the record and want to say how great it is, but they always put something in about baseball at the end.

Here I was extolling the collective wisdom of the SSS bloggers, and then, by a plurality, you guys voted Black Jack McDowell as the greatest White Sox pitcher of all-time.
If you're going to go with someone from the modern era- and this has to be the rationale for voting for McDowell, as Walsh, Faber and Lyons blow him out of the water statistically- I think Buehrle has already surpassed Black Jack quite easily, both in terms of consistency and clutch performance.
Black Jack Mcdowell is not the greatest Sox pitcher of all-time.

McDowell is/was a guitarist for his rock band "Stickfigure" ("Ape of the Kings"), although I don't know if they're still active.
Stickfigure started in 1992, and I believe V.I.E.W. dates back to the mid 1980's, so McDowell's been in rock bands for a while.
