The Chicago White Sox are taking Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio’s number 11 out of retirement for newly acquired Omar Vizquel, who will wear the number as a tribute to his Venezuelan countryman. “For me, it’s like a huge celebration, trying to keep his name alive and trying to spread the word of Venezuelan shortstops,” Vizquel said. Aparicio said if there’s one player he’d like to see wear his number, it’s Vizquel, the leader among shortstops in games (2,681). “I have known Omar for a long time,” Aparicio said. “Along with being an outstanding player, he is a good and decent man.” The Associated Press
