Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB.  Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the Chicago White Sox retire the number 13 of former player and manager Ozzie Guillen.

The event will take place on August 8 during Chicago’s home game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Guillen played shortstop for the Chi-Sox from 1985 to 1997, where he won the 1985 Rookie of the Year award, a Gold Glove (1990), and was a three-time All-Star.  He collected 1,608 hits with a .265 batting average for the club.

In 2004, he took over as Chicago’s manager and held the position until 2011.  Guillen guided the White Sox to a World Series title in 2005, and he finished with an overall record of 678-617.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Ozzie Guillen for his impending honor.
