Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ryan Borucki grew up in the Chicago suburbs idolizing the White Sox and southpaw Mark Buehrle.
"Man, I loved Buehrle," Borucki said to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Now that Borucki has reached the big leagues, he wears No. 56, just like Buehrle did.
The Blue Jays' 24-year-old left-hander (0-2, 2.79 ERA) will go for his first career victory when the Blue Jays wrap up a three-game series against the White Sox on Sunday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field. The teams split the first two games of the series with Toronto winning the opener 10-5 and Chicago rallying for a 9-5 win Saturday night.
