    He's right. They should and will retire Roger's number. So will Boston, New York, and Toronto. You are talking about the best pitcher to ever throw a baseball. Ever. The Best. Ever. He dominated through an offensive era. His career is more impressive than those of Cy Young, Walter Johnson, and Christy Mathewson. Greg Maddux is in the conversation.

    His number will be retired.

    Wouldn't put any sort of BS PR stunt past Drayton, but it would be a joke if they did.

    Especially considering how Clemens said he "wasted his time" last season.

    No surprise.

    The chinese media (sina and tom) scoop a lot of Rockets stuff long before the Chron does.

    I don't know who manages the sports writers/investigators, but they should be fired.

    That's like forecasting rain after it's already been raining for an hour.

    And it will be stupid. Let's retire Eddie Matthews' number as well. And Nellie Fox.

    Yeah, let's retire Roger's number. Let's do it right after the Saints retire Earl Campbell's number and the Raptors retire Hakeem's number.

    Or the Brewers retire Hammerin' Hank's number. Or the Mets retire Willie Mays's number.
