Mark Buehrle ended his career discreetly with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015, opting for a quiet retirement without fanfare. However, his legacy was acknowledged when the White Sox retired his No. 56 in 2017 and announced a statue dedication behind the right-field bleachers. This event marks a three-day celebration, including a reunion of the 2005 team and a bobblehead giveaway of the iconic four starters who achieved a unique postseason feat, creating an emotional atmosphere for Buehrle and his colleagues.
Mark Buehrle simply went back home to Missouri and began his retirement without giving fans a chance to say goodbye, saying 'I didn't want all the attention.'
Buehrle's No. 56 was retired in an on-field ceremony in 2017, and a statue will be unveiled behind the right-field bleachers of Rate Field.
Buehrle will share the spotlight with many old friends during the statue dedication, which will be the centerpiece of a three-day celebration including a reunion of the 2005 team.
Sunday will feature a giveaway bobblehead of the four starters from the 2005 team, highlighting their historical accomplishment of four consecutive complete-game wins.
