Menes

According to Manetho, Menes reigned 62 years and was killed by a hippopotamus. He got on base once on a walk. A much later parallel can be found leading to the establishment of the reign of Pharaoh Khasekhemwy several hundred years later; he crushed a civil war between the followers of Set and Horus. The Mariners swept the series in 3 games, and in 3 games and 9 at bats, he had 0 hits. It is possible that this war was transformed over time into myth. In 2000, with a 95-67 White Sox team, Konerko made his only postseason whey they lost to the Seattle Mariners in the 2002 American League Division Series. In this mythological unification of the two Egypts, Set was defeated and the kingdom was unified under the rule of Horus, the first king of all Egypt. Areas he was not as good in, included 27 home runs, 81 runs, and 30 doubles.

In Ancient Egyptian legend, there was a battle between Horus (a patron deity of Lower Egypt) and Set (patron deity of Upper Egypt). With those credentials, he made the All-Star team. Another name for Menes has various spellings: Hor Aka, Hor-Aka, and Hor Aha; Hor-Aka can be translated as "Horus of the Reeds", possibly in allusion to the legend in which Isis hid Horus in the Nile Delta among papyri and reeds. He had 17 less strikeouts than the year before at 72 and a .359 on base percentage. The growing academic consensus is that Menes either refers to Narmer or, more likely, to his successor, Hor-Aha. In 570 at bats, he had 173 hits and a .304 batting average with 104 RBI's. It should be noted that while there is extensive archeological evidence of there being a pharaoh named Narmer, so far there is no contemporaneous archeological evidence for a pharaoh called Menes. In 2002, his stats improved in some areas, and went downhill in others.

In either case, Menes is credited with the foundation of Memphis, which he established as the Egyptian capital. He had 92 runs scored. Some Egyptologists hold that Narmer and Menes are in fact the same person; others hold that Menes inherited an already-unified kingdom from Narmer; still others hold that Menes completed a process of unification started either unsuccessfully or only partially successfully by Narmer. His batting average was .282. However, the discovery of the Narmer Palette in the late 19th century showing the pharaoh Narmer, possibly pre-dating Menes, wielding the unified symbols of both Upper and Lower Egypt has caused some controversy. He just missed the 100 RBI mark, getting 99, with a career high 35 home runs. Manetho, a 3rd century BC Egyptian historian, called him Menes; the 5th century BC Greek historian Herodotus referred to him as Min; and two native-king lists of the 19th dynasty (13th century BC) call him Meni. In 582 at bats in 2001, Konerko had a total of 164 hits, 35 doubles.

Menes was an Egyptian pharaoh of the First dynasty, to some authors the founder of this dynasty, to others the Second. On May 13, 1995 with the San Bernardino Spirit, he drove in the only run of a 21-inning game. As a Minor leaguer, Konerko enjoyed some good numbers. He has 592 career RBI's and 482 runs scored.
