| Despite the quiz title, I do not mean to take such an aggressive stance on the issue. This is simply a compilation of players who could, arguably, have their # retired. And there is a method to the madness! The player must be a Hall of Famer OR have 7000 PAs with the team AND must have worn the same # with the same team for 4 or more seasons*, thus ruling out players who retired before or right after teams introduced jersey #s, or players who were very good but left no real mark on any 1 team. I also avoided recent retirees (post-'04), but I am open to suggestions. Thanks!
*except Lombardi, who for some reason changed #s annually. |
