May 25, 200520 yr The Sox retire Shoeless Joe number. If MLB ever lets Pete Rose in the HOF than they have to let Shoeless in as well

May 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Joe Jackson never had a number. That makes it easy to retire
May 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) If MLB ever lets Pete Rose in the HOF than they have to let Shoeless in as well You know...I'm going to start saying that every time I hear someone say that Pete Rose should be in the HOF.
May 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) That makes it easy to retire He didn't retire. He was banned.
May 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) He didn't retire. He was banned. Not Joe, the number silly...
May 25, 200520 yr 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.
May 25, 200520 yr 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?
May 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) When did they start putting numbers on the jerseys Sometime in the late 1920's, I think
May 25, 200520 yr 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.

That's why all of the The yankees retired numbers seem so low. The numbers corresponded with their spot in the batting order, not position. Babe Ruth was 3# not #9.
May 25, 200520 yr 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.

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.
May 25, 200520 yr Personally, I think retired numbers should be reserved for HOF'ers. I don't think Baines should have his number retired.
May 25, 200520 yr Author i think Ozzie will have his number retire someday as well... I hope he is the Mgr for many years...

Well, he was on ER last year. Looked pretty good for 106. When I think of actors who've played Shoeless Joe, I think of D.B. Sweeney. At least he batted the right way.
