There are countless things Mark Buehrle would rather do than speak in front of a large crowd. He didn’t list off those preferences Friday, after his statue was unveiled on the right-field concourse at Rate Field.

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.
