This made me laugh out loud.

After all the single- and two-digit numbers are retired, what happens? Three digits? Some combination of letters and numbers? Glyphs? Symbols of Ra?

And I still don't like Torre. 6 is and always will be Roy White, a class act.

If they retire the letter "E", John will have to start saying things like:

You just can augur our sport of hardball!

A back to back and a tummy to tummy!

Isn't it amazing, Suzyn, how that clamorous sound at Tampa Bay's Trop hurts my auditory organs?

Ball activity final! YANKS WIN! THUUUUUUUUUUH YANKS WIN!

... and ...

It is high! It is far it is ... caught!
