All of them. From now on, uniforms with no numbers at all.

The plaque remains up, but new guys get to wear the number. I mean, I loved Lou Piniella. But I don't get all bent out of shape when I see a new guy wear number 14. <br /><br />Alternatively: they start handing out "0", "00", "01", "02", etc. <br /><br />p.s.: So you retire Torre's number. Seriously? Ralph Houk managed back to back championships and played for the team too. More importantly, is Roy White chopped liver? No. 6 came to Torre with a good pedigree -- worn one year by Mantle and for 14 years by Roy White. This is why you don't retire any more numbers and just honor the guy with a plaque. ceejanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-71431482735907263492015-07-14T15:27:50.984-04:002015-07-14T15:27:50.984-04:00Gents,

PART. AUSTINE ROMINE FOR CONGRESS! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE YANKEES HAD A CONGRESSMAN! ANY TEAM CAN HAVE A CAPTAIN, BUT A CONGRESSMAN! SURE IT SHOULD BE JETER, BUT HE'S TOO BUSY WITH HIS BLOG AND WATCHING THOSE HANNAH AND HER HORSE COMMERCIALS. THE PHILLIES AND TIGERS HAD A SENATOR (JIM BUNNING)-- WHAT DO THOSE FRANCHISES HAVE THAT THE YANKEES HAVE NOT. COME TO THINK OF IT, MAYBE ROMINE FOR CONGRESS IS NOT REACHING HIGH (... AND FAR....) ENOUGH. LET'S LET AUSTIN CAMPAIGN BETWEEN AT BATS FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION! WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE IN A TIGHT SITUATION --- AUSTIN OR TRUMP? THERE IS AN ELECTORAL HISTORY HERE. GEORGE GOT CONVICTED FOR FUNNELING MONEY TO NIXON'S CAMPAIGN-- I CAN SEE THE STEINBRENNERS RIGHTING THAT HISTORIC WRONG AND FORMING A PAC TO BACK ROMINE IN THE FIRST BID FOR A YANKEE PRESIDENT. WALK SOFTLY, OR OCCASIONALLY, AND CARRY A BIG STICK! (ALRIGHT, THAT'S A STRETCH, BUT YOU DID NOTE HE IS STARTING TO HIT).

Just the other day when visiting the porcelain library, as I am wont to do, I grabbed one of the wife's mags from the stacks. (I like to keep abreast of trends in decorating) I found an article about Mitchell Bat Co. (web address enclosed).
