As far as #42 goes, there is *still* one player in the majors who still wears that number --- the great Mariano Rivera --- of which team? The NY Yankees, of course :)

...Dad was NYPD. He was on the job about a year when he was given the unenviable job of putting tickets on illegally parked cars in front of whatever hospital Babe was visiting for treatment. Dad told the Limo driver in front to ‘get it outta here’. Limo guy, told dad, ‘just waiting for “The Babe”’. Dads nod gave the limo dude an unequivocal permission to stay as long as he wanted.
Dad continued down the block writing summons to non-gods.
.....a horn honked and dad turned around...Babe waved a big thanks to the green young cop who let his limo stay there....
....I'm sorry, my eyes are all moist for some reason..
Dad passed away 2 years ago...
In fact, I don’t see why Jackie Robinson’s number was retired, just for being black. Affirmative action at its finest.
No thanks. Teams should honor their own athletes.
Must be a typo because it's .690
Most players would consider a .690 as a career season. To do it consistently throughout his career is unbelievable.
A great article, with one glaring omission: Ruth was arguably the finest lefthanded pitcher of his time. Combine that with his amazing feats at the plate, and there is no question who is the greatest of all time.
Ironically, 3 represents the trinity, which really IS the answer to life, the universe and everything. (Hold on a second... there’s a mouse in my apartment... AAAAAARGH!!!
(And if you’re wondering why I would write ‘AAAAAAARGH,’ you’ve got the wrong show.)
Too many people that hate the Yankees for this to ever happen.
