Mickey Mantle

On this date in 1969, Mickey Mantle's Uniform Number 7 is retired by the Yankees.

"To think you're a .300 batter and end up at .237 in your last season, then find you're looking at a lifetime .298 average. It makes me want to cry."

What if he had won?

Happy 60th Birthday to retired Padres and Mets pitcher, Randy Jones!

Did you know that the Padres have retired his jersey number 35?

I note that his record with the Padres was 92-105.

What would they have done for him if he had a winning record?

I bet that he would have a bronze statue just outside the park.

But don't mind me, Randy. Enjoy the day!
