OT: Give your best sports trivia question (rules in thread)

[MilliniumPrince]

I've been a Yankee fan since before Mickey retired and I've felt for decades that they've gone too far with this.

If it we up to me the retired numbers would be:

2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15, 16, 37, 42

I would consider something like a wall of honor for the bulk of the remaining numbers from the retired list but even with that there are a couple that I'm not sure belong, especially as some players from the mid 1920's to the mid 1960's dynasties would be more deserving. Unfortunately, as they predated Steinbrenner's ownership they aren't viewed as significant.

You wouldn't retire 44?

The only team that should retire his number is the A's. He was an Angel every bit as long as he was a Yankee and he was an A for as long as he was a Yankee and Angel combined.

Should the Reds consider retiring Tom Seaver's #41?

I think Reggie did more for the Yankees than Seaver did for the Mets.

I don't see how anyone could possibly think that.

That's the Alou brothers... In at least one game, they played all three positions in the outfield, I think for the Giants.

Lauderdale and Laettner are the last two. Shammgod never played for Hawks, so no idea on first.
