While on the subject of the new baseball season, I see that the Cubs are retiring the number of two of my favorite players #31: Ferguson Jenkins and Greg Maddux.
And, wow, the four other retired numbers 31 is joining!!!
#14-- Ernie Banks-- "Mr. Cub"-- 512 home runs (all with Cubs), two-time NL MVP ('58 and '59), 14 time NL All-Star.
#10-- Ron Santo-- 342 career homers (337 with Cubs), five gold gloves, 9-time All-Star AND SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME!!!
#26-- Billy Williams-- 426 career homers (392 with Cubs), 1961 NL Rookie of the Year, Played 1,117 consecutive games (1963-1970), career .290 hitter
#23-- Ryne Sandberg-- 282 career home runs (all with Cubs), 1984 NL MVP, 10 time NL All-Star, nine Gold Gloves.
These guys bleed Cub blue.
That's Some Mighty Good Baseball. --RoadDog
