    Mariners to retire Griffey's No. 24
    Hall of Famer honored his jersey will hang next to Robinson's No. 42

    SEATTLE -- Ken Griffey Jr. knew he was going to be elected to
    the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday, but the honors
    kept coming when Junior got a call from Mariners
    president Kevin Mather the following day letting him know his number 24
    is going to be retired at Safeco Field on Aug. 6.

    "They said, 'We've got a little surprise for you,'" Griffey recalled
    on Friday after a news conference at Safeco. "'We're going to put
    your name up next to Jackie Robinson's.' And that's when things hit.
    That definitely caps a long, wonderful week."

    Griffey will become the first Mariner to have his number retired
    and it means even more to him that he'll join Robinson, whose No. 42
    hangs in every ballpark in the Major Leagues. Griffey is the one
    who first asked former Commissioner Bud Selig if he could wear
    Robinson's 42 on Jackie Robinson Day,
    a tradition now upheld by every player and coach in MLB each year.

推 sampsonlu919: 我知道Edgar背號沒有榮退的原因 水手好像有球星入選
→ sampsonlu919: 名人堂才能舉辦球衣榮退儀式的不成文規定
→ sampsonlu919: 不過我覺得Johnson的背號的確也應該榮退
→ sampsonlu919: 尤其他也已經是名人堂球星了
推 kokc: 水兵原本的退休背號規定是 1.HOF+五年以上水手資歷
→ kokc: 2.準名人堂+生涯水手
→ kokc: 但條件過嚴，後來就從官網上拿掉了。現在小葛符合1.就先退24
→ kokc: Edgar的11號該退，但他還在HOF票選名單中，所以可能要等看看
→ kokc: 另外個人認為RJ的51會等朗神退休之後再退，不然51要先退誰XD
推 kokc: Jay Buhner退休後19也沒人穿，但他沒有終身水手也被卡著
推 BerITh: 好嚴苛啊 水手是有幾個能達到原訂標準
推 as8899652: 早就該退了，坐等51號
