White Sox Unveil Statue of Mark Buehrle at Rate Field

COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 12 – Mark Buehrle's statue honors his key role in the White Sox's 2005 World Series title and his 16-year MLB career with 214 wins, the team said.

  • Mark Buehrle, a former White Sox pitcher, was honored with a statue unveiled Friday at Rate Field during a 20th anniversary celebration of the 2005 World Series championship.
  • The statue tribute followed Buehrle’s 16-year major league career, including 12 seasons with Chicago and a key role in the 2005 team’s postseason success driven by a dominant pitching rotation.
  • Buehrle appeared visibly nervous at the event, expressing that he played baseball for the love of the game, never expecting to be honored with a statue or number retirement.
  • Buehrle said, “You don’t play the game for any of this,” and former teammate Jermaine Dye called the honor well deserved, joking, “It takes you getting a statue to get you out of the house.”
  • The statue symbolizes Buehrle’s lasting impact on the White Sox and the city, reinforcing the achievement of bringing Chicago a World Series title and inspiring future generations.
