[QUOTE="NDPackerFan, post: 19922, member: 193"] I think I understand Slick and somewhat agree. Why not put the name in the bowl of Lambeau Field with the number but allow it to be worn still? Look at the New York Yankees, for example, they have so many numbers retired now, that new players coming in take weird numbers. Only single #'s left with the Yanks are 2 or 6. Number Player Retired 1 Billy Martin August 10, 1986 3 Babe Ruth June 13, 1948 4 Lou Gehrig July 4, 1939 5 Joe DiMaggio 1952 7 Mickey Mantle June 8, 1969 8 Bill ****ey 1972 8 Yogi Berra 1972 9 Roger Maris July 21, 1984 10 Phil Rizzuto August 4, 1985 * 15 Thurman Munson 1979 16 Whitey Ford 1974 23 Don Mattingly August 31, 1997 * 32 Elston Howard July 21, 1984 37 Casey Stengel 1970 42 Jackie Robinson April 15, 1997 # 44 Reggie Jackson August 14, 1993 * 49 Ron Guidry August 23, 2003 Anyway, probably a bad argument as well, but I guess it's my only rationale.
