April 21, 200421 yr The following are all retired: 2-Fox 3-Baines 4-Appling 9-Minoso 11-Aparicio 16-Lyons 19-Pierce 42-Jackie Robinson (retired by MLB) 72-Fisk Who else do you think will ultimately get consideration to have their jersey retired. Here's who I'm thinking at the current moment: #35-Frank Thomas #13-Ozzie Guillen (a World Series championship would make this a non-issue) #23-Robin Ventura (longshot, but I still think he might merit consideration) Others???
April 21, 200421 yr Big Hurt and if Maggs signs a long term deal and stays here a lot longer, Maggs. Thats it. If Ozzie ends up being a damn good manager for us for a while, then I'd say he's worthy as well.

If Ozzie ends up being a damn good manager for us for a while, then I'd say he's worthy as well. I was thinking about Mags, but if he leaves via FA, I don't think they'll give it a 2nd thought.
April 21, 200421 yr Frank yes. Mags if he stays. not Ozzie, no way as a player. We have never retired a manager's number so after Ozzie wins 5 world series, we can retire his. One will not be sufficient.
April 21, 200421 yr did the sox have numbers back in shoeless's days, if not i say we retire 00 I was gonna say Shoeless Joe too. Possibly the greatest hitter in Sox history. Don't know if they could retire something for him though since he is banned and what not? He should definitely be on that wall in left center though.

April 21, 200421 yr We have never retired a manager's number so after Ozzie wins 5 world seroies, we can retire his. One will not be sufficient. Actually, if we win one at this point the entire team should have their numbers retired.
April 21, 200421 yr I was gonna say Shoeless Joe too. Possibly the greatest hitter in Sox history. Don't know if they could retire something for him though since he is banned and what not? He should definitely be on that wall in left center though. with the cash in his hand that he took? No to Joe. Remember his answer to say it ain't so, Joe; he responded, it is. Joe is honored greatly in the panels that the Sox have on the club level which beautifully illustrate white sox history - I wish those panels were where everyone might see them - that is sufficient honor for Joe's contributions. But no way place Joe amongst those we honor with the highest honors. Bibb Falk, Fielder Jones, Ray Schalk, deserve that honor far far more.

April 21, 200421 yr Wilbur Wood WILBUR WOOD I’m like throwin’ f***in’ junk scraping the sides of the plate fluttering across broken winged accumulating insults & lounging in stale air I’m the junkballer & from a few feet away I look easy to hit but, friend, understand that my s*** explodes BOOM! & it sure as hell ain’t where you thought it’d be when you started that swing & yr fury fans the air impotent while my junk falls behind you, immaculate I could be talked in Shoeless Joe. His WS stats were solid. He took the money and then played his best. You have to respect a guy from Chicago for that.
April 21, 200421 yr My turn: Chris Snopek What happened to him? I bought his pants for $10 at SoxFest
