'I feel privileged'

In 1984, the White Sox retired Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio's uniform No. 11.
With Aparicio's blessing, new Sox infielder Omar Vizquel is going to wear No. 11 this season.
“If there is one player who I would like to see wear my uniform number with the White Sox, it is Omar Vizquel,” Aparicio said in a press release Monday. “I have known Omar for a long time. Along with being an outstanding player, he is a good and decent man.”
The 42-year-old Vizquel signed a one-year contract with the White Sox on Nov. 23 after playing for the Texas Rangers last season and batting .266 in 62 games.
Like Aparicio, Vizquel is a native Venezuelan.
“I feel privileged to have the opportunity to wear the same uniform number with the White Sox as the great Luis Aparicio,” said Vizquel. “It is a great honor for me.”
Vizquel has won 11 Gold Gloves; Aparicio won nine.
