chitownsportsfan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 We've been lucky to have some really awesome players come through the Sox in the last couple decades even if they haven't consistently put a winning product on the field. MB is certainly one of my favorite players of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did at PK's final game and the number retiring. Definitely grew up at a prime time to be a fan (I'm 26 and started I guess becoming a fan late 90s).

There is one of him taking care of the rookies on Toronto's team that is a really awesome story as well. Took all the rookies and bought each two tailored suits when they got to NY city. I can't figure how to link it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I believe in the Baseball Gods, and some players were meant to play for the team they got drafted by or signed with. Mark Buehrle was meant to be a White Sox. Favorite Sox player ever and will never be surpassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm 27 but I started following them regularly in 2004. Pretty fortunate timing with what happened the next year. It's too bad though that I missed all of Frank's prime years. Same with Jordan and the Bulls in that regard, born just a little bit too late to really appreciate both of them.

greg775 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 That was such a great article. I love everything about that guy. Everybody, in fact, should pitch as he did. EVERYBODY. Get the ball and throw it like you mean it. He didn't delay at all. He got the ball and delivered it immediately. Hope the weather is perfect and he has a great weekend. Except for those old, old timers and Sale I guess, he's the best pitcher in Sox history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Fantastic. Easily one of my all time favorite players and his number getting retired is so well deserve. I was grinning from ear to ear reading through those stories (and having it reflash back all the great memories I have of watching Buerhle with the Sox).

That type of stuff is absolutely hilarious. Of course some go too far but in baseball they have so much time to kill with the amount of travels that it really does make the time go.

Definitely grew up at a prime time to be a fan (I'm 26 and started I guess becoming a fan late 90s). I'm 24 and I took for granted watching PK and Buehrle play, I actually really miss watching Mark pitch. I am actually from the Jeffco area (where he went to school), a lot of people at my high school go to Jeffco after high school so it is crazy that a guy from that college, drafted that late and succeeded that well with my favorite team. My grandma's cousin knew someone who was good friends with Buehrle and she was able to get me a signed ball for my high school graduation, one of the best gifts I have ever received.
