Twenty years on from a championship, details get blurred as stories only get better. But it’s right on the money to say the Sox never would’ve won it all had they not remade their roster in a tone-shifting manner.
Buehrle, 46, played for Chicago for the first 12 of his 16 seasons in the majors. Known for working quickly with pinpoint control, he went 161-119 with a 3.83 ERA in 390 appearances with the White Sox, including 365 starts. He had his number retired by the team in 2017.
Amid dealing with the rain, a double-header, and extra innings, the White Sox managed to pull off the win with a Mike Tauchman walk-off.
Stuck choosing at No. 10, but with two picks in the first 44, the Sox are hoping to nab a pair of players to make the next stars of their rebuilding project.
