I like team Halls of Fame that you can honor past players without permanently retiring numbers or building statues. Enough with the statues…please! I like this.

South Side Hit Men Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 If MVP Jose is not worthy, they should only have four plus Jackie: Luke Appling Frank Thomas Ted Lyons Minnie Minoso No - Aparicio, Baines, Buehrle, Fisk, Fox, Konerko, Pierce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Abreu's connection to the Cuban history of the Sox is also (as it should) going to play a factor as to whether #79 is retired or not. I've never been Abreu's biggest supporter perse, but there's a lot that goes into his career beyond looking at his WAR, where he ranks on various all-time franchise leaderboards, etc. Edited October 5, 2022 by maxjusttyped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black jack Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 9 hours ago, Bob Sacamano said: It’s such an obscure number to the point where I wouldn’t mind if they did because no one else is probably going to wear it. This is where I'm at. I'm not sure he deserves it if it's a popular number, but why not 79? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
