The Chicago White Sox are set to honor one of their all-time greats, Mark Buehrle, with a statue at Rate Field this summer. This announcement has sparked a lot of excitement among fans, but it also raises some interesting questions about legacy and recognition in baseball.

Buehrle, a key figure in the White Sox's 2005 World Series victory, has had a remarkable career, yet he still finds himself on the Hall of Fame ballot without the recognition many believe he deserves. With his recent statue announcement, do you think this is a sign that the White Sox are trying to solidify his legacy in a way that the Hall of Fame hasn't?

As we look forward to the statue unveiling on July 11, what are your thoughts on how teams honor their legends? Is a statue enough, or should there be more done to ensure players like Buehrle receive their due recognition?

Additionally, Buehrle's journey on the Hall of Fame ballot has been a rollercoaster. With only four years left on the ballot, do you think he has a chance to make it in? What factors do you believe influence Hall of Fame voting the most?

Let’s also talk about the impact of this statue on the current White Sox team. With a new GM and a rebuilding phase underway, how do you think honoring past players like Buehrle can influence the current roster and fan engagement?

Share your thoughts, predictions, and any personal experiences related to Buehrle or the White Sox!
