The Chicago White Sox retire the No. 13 jersey of former manager and shortstop Ozzie Guillén in a ceremony held before Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians. The team honors Guillén as the first former manager in franchise history to receive the number-retirement distinction and as the 13th individual whose number is retired by the club.
Across reports, the focus is on Guillén’s ties to the organization and his impact as both a player and later a figure in White Sox broadcasting and coverage. Yahoo Sports notes that Guillén is 62 years old and describes him as a recognizable presence on White Sox telecasts. It also states he was a three-time All-Star and that he spent his first 13 of 16 major league seasons with the White Sox, establishing the primary connection cited for the honor.
Both outlets present the event as an official team ceremony ahead of the game, with the same core facts about the number retired, the honoree’s roles, and the significance of the No. 13 recognition within the franchise’s list of retired numbers.
