Say What?

[gridlore]

The New York Tankees have acquired A-Rod from the Rangers, another example of Steinbrenner's negative effect on baseball.

But that's not the shocker.

A-Rod will be wearing Babe Ruth's old number. Why wasn't that number retired decades ago? I mean, we are talking about Herman "Babe" Ruth! Number #2 on the all-time homerun list, one of the greatest players of all time. And his number has been retired?

What are the Yankees thinking?

maybe they should subscript the number "-a" -- 'cause he sure ain't no Babe Ruth!!!!!!!

(and I'm a Yankees fan---forgive me, but it's that or the Mets -- and when I was growing up they wasn't "Amazing")
