Episode Details

Ozzie Guillen’s number 13 was officially retired by the Chicago White Sox in a sold-out, emotional ceremony at Rate Field, making him the first manager in franchise history to earn this honor. Surrounded by former teammates like Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski, Guillen delivered a heartfelt, humorous speech full of gratitude to his family, fans, and the organization that shaped his legacy. His jersey now joins legends like Luis Aparicio and Konerko in the rafters, while he also received a framed photo and plane tickets to Japan — complete with a playful note to a player there to look after him. Guillen’s wife highlighted the profound pride this moment brings not just to their family but to Venezuela, their homeland amid hardship. For Guillen, seeing his name etched forever on the ballpark will be the ultimate thrill — especially for his grandchildren, who’ll one day walk through the gates and see their hero’s number shining above them.
