Opening Day for Major League Baseball – Time to Talk About Retiring #21

That time of the year again. Every team is in first place. The Cubs have a great shot at the pennant. The Phillies* will not fold in the stretch. Bonds will go after the record, and maybe, just maybe, MLB will retire Roberto Clemente’s number. It was a great and fitting tribute to Jackie Robinson, and would be for Clemente as well. Hope they do.
Here’s an article from WaPo- fittingly titled The Last Hero - that lays it all out.

* The Phils, after all, do have 9,879 losses sicne they first moved into town in 1883- only Phillies fans would focus on that.
