Ozzie Guillén's Number 13 Retired | MLB News

The Chicago White Sox honored Ozzie Guillén by retiring his number 13 — the first former manager to receive this tribute — during a special ceremony before a game against Cleveland. Guillén, a 13-year White Sox player and longtime manager, led the team to their last World Series title in 2005 and is remembered for his fiery personality and deep connection to the franchise. Reflecting on the emotional moment, Guillén shared how nervous he was, calling it a unique experience beyond his playing or managing days. He also tied the number 13 to baseball’s rich tradition in Venezuela, honoring his heritage with a Venezuelan flag pin. The ceremony, attended by family, former teammates, and team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, marked a proud milestone for a legend who helped shape the White Sox’s legacy.
