Ozzie Guillen is returning to U.S. Cellular Field for the 2005 championship anniversary celebration, the team announced Wednesday, the first official comeback for the former manager.
Guillen said Wednesday in a phone interview he informed the Sox recently that he would attend, but it was only announced now. He didn’t attend the SoxFest reunion of the 2005 team in January because he was out of the country.
“It’s nice for the fans and the players to enjoy it,” Guillen said of the July 17-19 celebration at the Cell. “I may enjoy it for the first time. When it happened, I couldn’t enjoy it as much because there was so much stuff going on around me.
