Very well deserved. This guy was the face of the team for many years.
Yes, it’s annoying I can’t see what day they are actually doing it yet though
Congrats, LonGOAT
MY GOAT!!!
If we’re going with just on-field accomplishments, yes, 100% his # should be retired. If we’re talking the whole package, there should at least be a conversation. I’m not necessarily wanting to get into specifics; but I’ll just say that towards the middle/end of his tenure during the BJ, Desmond, Price days, I was a valet in the Hyde Park area. There were two times *that I saw* where he made a straight menace of himself both in the venue and more directly relevant to me, the parking lot. To the point where if you, or I, or anybody else was acting that way, we would have 100% wound up in the back of a squad car. I won’t/have no interest in taking away his myriad accomplishments between the lines, or how important he was to a team/org that was just finding it’s formula; but dude was a straight up tool box away from the Trop.
Has he fixed his batting stance yet?
wished he played for us only but happy to see him get his jersey retired
