But you don’t think they should have retired any of those?


The point is that half of people with their numbers retired aren't (or won't be) in the HoF.

They have a fairly lax policy on retiring numbers. The Red Sox, on the other hand, have had a really strict policy that they've only recently started moving away from.

Ya i didn’t realize those guys weren’t in the hall
I guess I’m blinded by it because they just all won a couple titles with them

Can’t really argue Williams Posada and Pettite who spent many years and won multiple rings as the faces of their franchise.

Elston Howard was their first black player

Martin a manager and player and won titles

Munson died in the middle of a season, understand that one

Maris outside of 61 was a dud


Don’t know much about Guidry
