A monument for White Sox great Orestes “Minnie” Miñoso, who passed away on March 1, 2015, was unveiled at Chicago’s historic Graceland Cemetery during a private dedication Sunday.
Charlie Rice-Miñoso sees the monument for his father, Chicago White Sox legend Orestes “Minnie” Miñoso, for the first time at Graceland Cemetery, July 12, 2024.
Sharon Rice-Miñoso and her son, Charlie Rice-Miñoso, watch a tribute video to the late husband and father Minnie Miñoso, before the Chicago White Sox game, July 30, 2022, in Chicago. Minoso was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall earlier in the month. His 150 hits with the Cubans from 1946-48 lift his career total over the 2,000-hit milestone to 2,113. He is one of just 294 players with at least 2,000 career hits in MLB history, per Elias Sports Bureau. Nine additional home runs give him 195 for his career, 12 more triples bring him to 95 and 29 more doubles to total 365.
“It adds much-needed context to our national pastime, as those color barriers sequentially impacted the courses of these players’ careers and lives. And, arguably, had this incorporation happened during my dad’s lifetime, one would assume he would have been inducted into Cooperstown while he was still living.”
The memorial, designed by his family and created by Mike Godzecki of Impressive Casket, is in the shape of a baseball diamond. It pays tribute to Miñoso’s many contributions to baseball and society, including:His most well-known nicknames are etched into the memorial: “Mr. White Sox,” “Cuban Comet,” “El Charro Negro” and “The Black Cowboy”Miñoso’s memorial is located on the eastern side of Graceland’s Lake Willowmere and close to his friend and Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks.
