CHICAGO –– The 20th reunion for the 2005 White Sox World Series team takes place this weekend at Rate Field.

The team has several events planned, such as a statue unveiling, a pregame ceremony, photo opportunities, giveaways and more. The reunion overlaps with the final three games of the White Sox four-game series against the Cleveland Guardians.

For White Sox manager Will Venable, having legendary members of the organization in town could provide some inspiration for his young ball club.

"Definitely. Those guys are great when they're around, and I think it's the stories, the camaraderie they're seeing," Venable said. "A group of guys who have gone through what they have gone through and were able to win a championship together is always a great example, especially as a young group trying to find their own way as a club to ultimately achieve the same goal."

Here's the full schedule of events.
