White Sox to Honor Mark Buehrle with Statue at Rate Field
The statue will be unveiled on July 11 as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the team's 2005 World Series victory.
- Mark Buehrle, a former All-Star pitcher and key figure in the White Sox's 2005 World Series win, will be commemorated with a statue at Rate Field.
- The unveiling ceremony is scheduled for July 11, coinciding with the team's season-long celebration of the 2005 championship's 20th anniversary.
- Buehrle, who already had his No. 56 jersey retired in 2017, expressed gratitude for the honor, calling it 'unbelievable' and 'insane.'
- During his 16-year MLB career, Buehrle recorded 161 of his 214 wins with the White Sox and achieved 14 consecutive seasons of 200+ innings pitched.
- Buehrle remains eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, receiving 11.4% of the vote this year, enough to stay on the ballot for a sixth year.
