June 30, 200520 yr I think the next Ex Sox player that should have his number retire is Wilbur Wood Edited June 30, 200520 yr by Southside hitmen
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:46 AM) I agree but Frank isnt Ex Sox player yet I just don't think anyone else's numbers will be retired before Frank's.
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) Dam- Fisk number is already retired D'oh
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) Does Baines have his number retired? Yes
June 30, 200520 yr I was hoping Robin Ventura would get his. I liked him a lot but it's a stretch to retire his number.
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) Frank Thomas will be the next. Defenitely. I can't think of any other former Sox players that deserve that honor that don't already have it.
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Retired numbers should be reserved for HOF'ers, IMHO. I bet their are lots of teams that retired A LOT of non Hof's . Those franchises IMO , are the types that get looked down upon. I know we have a few already

June 30, 200520 yr I think hall of fame and a team retiring your number are completely different, To get your number retired is am honor from your team and it means you meant a lot to the franchise even if you arent a HOF, for example while we all hate him Ron Santo means a lot to the cubs franchise even if he wasnt an announcer and he had his number retired but isnt a HOF.

I can see your point. IMO, Santo should be in the Hall .... as should Pierce and Minoso.
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:30 AM) Todd Ritchie I take this as sarcasm. It's not just you Jersey, but I can't understand why everybody ridicules Todd Ritchie. Look up his day by day, he was good until he hurt his arm. Once hurt he was never the same, he had an operation and tried for years on various teams to come back but the flipper was broke. To me this disappointment brings sadness but not derision.
June 30, 200520 yr Would it be possible to retire Shoeless Joe's number? Well, did they even wear jersey numbers back then?

They didn't have numbers then. The mid 20's Yankees were the first to have numbers on their backs, and even then the number on their backs were corresponded to their spot in the batting order.
