CHICAGO -- Former White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle was forever immortalized inside Rate Field as the team unveiled a statue in his honor on Friday.
Buehrle, 46, played 16 years in the majors, including the first 12 with the White Sox where he helped the team win a World Series in 2005. He won 214 games and pitched 200 innings or more in 14 consecutive seasons, from 2001-2014.
"I can't put it into words," Buehrle said after the unveiling. "You don't play the game for any of this. You never think of number retirements or statues.
