Overview

• 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.
