Last week, I was probably a bit unfair to Luis Gonzalez. I wrote about my experience attending a Diamondbacks game at Chase Field, and noted that team has retired only two numbers besides Jackie Robinson’s. Randy Johnson’s is one, and I doubt anyone questions that decision. The #20 of Ganzalez is the other retired number in Arizona, and I said that was a head-scratcher along the lines of the Reds retiring Adam Dunn’s number, or the Red Sox retiring Mo Vaughn’s, or the Tigers retiring Rudy York’s.
GGood article but I wish you would have gone a bit deeper on Rudy York. He was a seven time Allstar and hit 18 home runs in a single month! Plus (and most importantly) I had a Rudy York first baseman’s mitt when I was a kid!!!
