    Hey buddy retiring numbers is good AND you only retire the numbers worn by players who spent the majority of their great career in one place for example TED WILLIAMS and YAZ.

    Anywho even the Celtics and Yankees haven't retired ALL the numbers.
    Eventually they'll run out of numbers. Honor the MAN, not the number.

    Bert Blyleven was good, but how many all star appearances did he make? 2. How many Cy Youngs did he win? 0. How many MVPs did he win? 0. And how is he better than Jack Morris? At least Morris has appeared in 5 ASGs.

    Now I'm not saying leave him out, but I don't think he's a no brainer, either.
    Jack Morris, yeah. His 7th game performance in the 1991 world series for the Twins had to be one of the greatest of all time, probably the highlite of his career. Morris starts and pitches into extra innings as the Twins win 1-0. Awesome game. Then Toronto signs him to a big fat contract and he gets two more world series rings in 92 and 93. He was kind of scary for the Jays though. 1992 he goes 21-6 with an over 4 era, and incredible run support. Disaster waiting to happen. He got blown away in the playoffs that year, and didn't do much of anything the following year, spent the 93 playoffs on the bench. Did one more year in the majors with Cleveland and retired.

    Rickey is one of my fav ball players of all time. Him and Tony Fernandez. Rickey is one of the best of all time imo.

    Henderson was probably the best leadoff hitter ever. You have to give him credit. He sure loved to hot dog it against a catcher who was a little slow off the mark.

    Tony Fernandez was awesome when he was with the Jays. Definitely underrated. Amazing defense, and great batting average. He had some nasty injuries though, like breaking his elbow at exhibition stadium, and taking a fastball in the cheek.

    I'd take a 1980s Fernandez over almost anyone at shortstop, and that includes Cal Ripken.

    To me Tony Fernandez and Willie McGee are 2 of Baseballs most underrated players. Both were outstanding players

    Darren Dalton was one of my favorites but he had one too many concussions.


    Bill Lee was a great one....the "Spaceman" ate marijuana pancakes, hahaha
