Overview

  • The life-size bronze sculpture captures Buehrle’s signature pitching motion and stands alongside Harold Baines’ monument in the right field concourse.
  • Buehrle’s daughter, Brooklyn, delivered a ceremonial first pitch and his son, Braden, sang the national anthem before the White Sox faced the Cleveland Guardians.
  • The unveiling marked the culmination of a 20th anniversary reunion for the 2005 World Series champions, drawing former teammates to Guaranteed Rate Field.
  • Over his 16-season career, Buehrle won 214 games, recorded a perfect game in 2009 and a no-hitter in 2007, and earned five All-Star and four Gold Glove honors.
  • The White Sox also unveiled uniform patches honoring late closer Bobby Jenks as part of the weekend’s commemorative events.
