00:00This was Ozzie Guillen, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, World Series champion manager in 2005, of course, came
00:10up in this organization, was the rookie of the year as a shortstop.
00:13I always love talking about Chicago and Cleveland, especially somebody like Ozzie Guillen, who was a light-hitting shortstop, who
00:20became a very good player and a very good defender.
00:22We think about Omar Vizquel on the Cleveland side. Those two were in battles at that position against one another
00:29in those really fun division rivalry matchups.
00:32Of course, when the White Sox won the World Series in 2005, Cleveland was right on the tail of Chicago
00:38almost all the way down to the final weekend of that season.
00:42White Sox came out on top and then ran a rough shot of the rest of the postseason before they
00:48rolled to their World Series title.
00:51The number 13 to be retired officially here this evening at Raitt Field on the south side of Chicago.
01:00Tonight, that family grows by one, now forever enshrined in White Sox history.
01:07White Sox actually had to trade away the Cy Young Award winner from 1983 to get Ozzie Guillen, a young
01:13prospect.
01:14Number 13, World Series champion manager, White Sox legend, Ozzie Guillen.
01:25And four decades later, his number retired.
