The Chicago White Sox will unveil a statue of Mark Buehrle, a former All-Star pitcher, outside Rate Field on July 11. Buehrle's No. 56 is already retired by the team, and he expressed that while that honor is significant, the statue represents a more permanent legacy. The statue unveiling ceremony coincides with the 20th anniversary of the White Sox's 2005 World Series win, where Buehrle played a key role. His continued recognition includes recent Hall of Fame voting, highlighting his impressive career statistics and achievements with the team.
"Retiring my number is an incredible honor, but then to put a statue up, it's something's that's going to be of me out there forever."
"I guess the number could be unretired, they could take it out and put it back into play. But the statue, unless somebody tears it down or does something, it's always going to be there."
