Fergie, Maddux To Have #31 Retired By Cubs

[veryzer]

first of all, even if grace left on great terms, he doesn't deserve it. he was real good player, but not good enough to have his number retired. he never led the league in average, never hit 20 home runs, never drove in 100 runs, never walked 100 times, scored 100 runs once, hit over 40 twice. good ballplayer, but not good enough.

dawson will be the next to have his number retired and it will stay that way for a while, and then, when old wounds are healed, sosa will have his retired as well. there isn't a doubt in my mind.
