Mark Buehrle's statue dedication brought former teammates from the 2005 White Sox together, reflecting on their historic postseason run. The event was marked by humor from reliever Cliff Politte, who assisted a ballpark employee. Third baseman Joe Crede expressed appreciation for the camaraderie, stating these reunions help maintain connections. The atmosphere was reminiscent, serving not just as a tribute to Buehrle but also as a celebration of family ties as former teammates reflected on personal lives and growth since their championship era.
"Just bring those out back and load 'em onto my truck," Politte told the confused worker. Twenty years later, the party really hasn't stopped for the '05 Sox.
"It's such a great feeling to know that we've won and can come back and do this," third baseman Joe Crede said. "Because without this, I'd probably never see these guys again."
Most of the conversations are all about family," outfielder Jermaine Dye said. "We've seen the kids here, all grown up... It's just good to talk about family."
