A.J. Pierzynski and Juan Uribe were 700 miles away from this weekend festivities commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Chicago White Sox’s World Series title.
But that season remains fresh in their minds – even as they currently play for the Atlanta Braves.
“It is hard to imagine it’s been 10 years,” Pierzynski said Friday at Turner Field. “It doesn’t seem that long ago. But looking back on it, it was a special time, a special place. You’d never want to change anything about it.”
Uribe, who also helped the San Francisco Giants win a World Series in 2010, takes great pride in his two defensive plays in the ninth inning of the fourth and deciding game of the 2005 World Series at Houston.
