“White Sox fans will always remember the 12 seasons Mark Buehrle spent on the south side, and the gritty work ethic that endeared him to so many. They'll remember his quick work on the mound, his perfect game, his no-hitter, his All Star Game appearances and his Gold Gloves. They'll remember that he brought Chicago its first World Series championship in generations, starting game two and saving game three. But Mark Buehrle's remarkable career will now extend beyond the record books alone, and his number 56 will hang above White Sox games from this day forward.”
