Buehrle gets ovation at Blue Jays-White Sox game

Mark Buehrle got the best of both worlds Friday night.

Back at U.S. Cellular Field to watch his former squad, Buehrle - the semi-retired left-hander who spent 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox - was treated to a nice ovation from the South Side fans during Friday's series opener, wherein the 37-year-old was also able to check in on the Toronto Blue Jays, his team for the previous three summers.

Buehrle, who played coy when asked if he'd thought about returning to either the White Sox or Blue Jays, was a bona fide workhorse throughout his 16-year career, posting a 3.81 ERA (117 ERA+) over 493 starts and 25 relief appearances while logging at least 200 innings per season from 2001 through 2014.
