MLB: White Sox unretire Aparicio�s No. 11 for Vizquel


Associated Press

CHICAGO � Omar Vizquel will wear the No. 11 of former White Sox shortstop and fellow Venezuelan Luis Aparicio this season.

The White Sox say they have unretired Aparicio�s No. 11 for the 2010 season, with his blessing. Aparicio said Vizquel is the one player he�d like to see don his number.
The 42-year-old Vizquel signed with the White Sox this offseason. He is a three-time AL All-Star and is considered one of best fielding shortstops of all time.
Aparicio was named American League Rookie of the Year as a member of the White Sox in 1956 and the 10-time All-Star played 10 seasons with Chicago. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1984, the same year the team retired his uniform number.
