Re: Jackie Robinson's Daughter Says: 'Don't Retire Roberto Clemente's Number'

She has a point.  I just don't think she should be the one to make it.

#42 is retired across the board because of the huge wall Jackie crushed.  This courage has never been matched in the game of baseball, as far as I am concerned.

If we retire Clemente because of the tragedy of his death, then why not Thurman Munson?

The Pirates retired Clemente's number.  That should be enough.

Of course, Jackie is my all-time favorite player, so -- yes -- my opinion could be jaded. :)
