Where at the yankees stadium is it best to sit with my 9 yr old son and be safe?
i asked this same question a while ago because i was wondering the same thing.he already had the number before it was retired, so he gets to wear it until he retires. he will be the last player in the MLB to ever wear #42.
Since Riveara already had the number, the decided 2 let him keep it. He is the last one 2 have it. After him it will permanetly retired.
Should i long toss or lift to gain some mph on my fastball?
People who were already wearing #42 were allowed to keep it. Rivera is the last one left. Mo Vaughn also kept it, but he retired in 2003.How much do u think my 2003 world series ball is worth?
Because he is very selfish and does not respect the man that paved the way for him to play baseball.Players who had 42 already were allowed to keep the number. They should have changed their number tho if they had any self respect.
He chose the number before the number was retired, but when he retires, noone else will be able to wear it.
How do you find out what your bat size is supposed to be??
first of all... i don't think you have a right being here if you just called the legendary, first black mlb player, Jackie RobERTson... it's Robinson... it's all over the news how could you not see that? secondly... he had the number prior to retirement therefore can wear it as long as he plays... which will be a while still hopefully... not to mention it's MARiano...There are several players, in the majors, wearing #42. It was retired by all teams, but those who were wearing it, were given the option of either changing numbers, or wearing it. Mo Vaughn, when he was with the Boston Red Sox, opted to wear #42, as did others, including Mariano Rivera. This is why, Mariano is still wearing #42. When he stops playing, the number will be not be worn by anyone else.
DO u think Pete Rose should be the Hall of Fame?
Mariano Rivera still wears the #42 because he had the number before it was retired so therefore he gets to wear that number until he retires himself. And by the way im not trying to be mean but its Jackie ROBINSON not ROBERSTSON..and its MARIANO Rivera not MIRIANO. Anyways GO RIVERA!! May Jackie rest in peace.
