Message #2177 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Anonymous   Subject :   Jose Lima given Jackie Robinson's retired number of 42 Date :   2/20/06, 1:04pm When Robinson's family gathered and Bud Selig spoke and Shea Stadium became an extension of Ebbets Field, the Mets again showing their status as an heir to the old Brooklyn Dodgers. All of baseball was to retire the jersey that night in honor of a man whose impact reached well beyond the game. And there were the Mets yesterday ho-humming all of it, handing over the jersey nine years after being handed the privilege of hosting the ceremony. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2177 • Back to Topics 1386 reads 819 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!
