Chicago White Sox: Three reasons to re-hire Ozzie Guillen

The Chicago White Sox had some incredible years under Ozzie Guillen and the idea of bringing him back is something worth looking at.

He, no matter what some people may think of him, is one of the single most important figures in the history of the organization. The good thing is, most White Sox fans adore him and remember everything he did with great fondness.
