I am the only person on NSC that doesn't have a problem with this Americanization.
I would even welcome it.


Sure, not for some 17 year old wunderkid, that's just freakin stooooopid.

But I wouldn't lose my shite about an oversized '25' shirt hanging from the rafters of the West Stand, or a '14' for that matter.

Utter joke, you could understand someone like the San Francisco 49'ers retiring Jerry Rice's jersey for example seeing as he was the finest Wide Receiver ever but who is this bozo?

I'm with you on this. i Think it's a classy tradition.

Would have liked to have seen 2 retired at the end of last season.

going off on atangent here, but I watched 42 on Netflix the other day.

anyone who enjoys sports biopics/Baseball movies, I would strongly recommend.

I cant pass up any baseball movie. The cheesier the better...

Edit: the film is about Jackie Robinson, whose 42 shirt was retired from all major league baseball in 1997

So what happens if he doesn't progress and ends up back in a year, in League 1, or a random world league lower division?

I'm sure there's other ways they could commemorate their windfall.
