Cubs Suck23 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The Sox retire Shoeless Joe number. If MLB ever lets Pete Rose in the HOF than they have to let Shoeless in as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I hope Joe Jackson can attend the ceremony. He really hasn't done a whole lot since he was in Goodfellas. Well, he was on ER last year. Looked pretty good for 106. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 This thread raises a question, who will the next Sox retired number be? How long into the future will it be before they retire another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) When did they start putting numbers on the jerseys The yankees were the first team to put numbers on jerseys... Regulars numbers corresponed with thier position. That's why all of the The yankees retired numbers seem so low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I heard a while ago that baseball wanted to let Shoeless Joe into the HOF, but then the Pete Rose thing happened and killed that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long into the future will it be before they retire another one? Whenever Frank retires #35 will be the next number to be retired. Guys who could merit consideration in the future include Robin Ventura and Mark Buehrle if he keeps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Personally, I think retired numbers should be reserved for HOF'ers. I don't think Baines should have his number retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he batted the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
