re: Why was Furniss' # retired before Walker?

Didn't knock anyone but you can't compare a 12 year big league career to never making it. It's a dumb debate. Both were great Tigers but if u can't see the difference u aren't looking. Furniss played first and hit in the most pro offensive time ever. Not bashing just being honest. U have ur opinion I have mine . Plus a year adds lot (60 plus games ) . He was never making the bigs .
