Ozzie Guillén’s Number 13 Retired | Chicago News

The Chicago White Sox honored Ozzie Guillén by retiring his number 13 — a historic moment as the first former manager to receive this honor and only the 13th person in franchise history. The ceremony, held before a game against Cleveland, featured Guillén’s name etched on the stadium facade alongside former teammates and club chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. A three-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner who spent 13 seasons with the Sox, Guillén’s legacy soared even higher as manager, leading them to their last World Series title in 2005 with his fiery, unfiltered leadership style. Emotional and humbled, Guillén called the moment more nerve-wracking than any game he ever played or managed, while also tying the number to his Venezuelan roots and baseball tradition there.
