I love Bernie Williams. I used to do marketing deals for him when I handled marketing for Scott Boras from 98-2002.
However, he is not ever going to make the hall of fame, and his number was retired by the Yankees
Posada will be next to have his number retired then Pettitte.
I don't think any of the 3 of them will make the HOF, they all get numbers retired, they all get plaques. (pettitte MIGHT have statistical numbers to get in, but admitting to HGH use will likely prevent it)
Do you think this is right (that players of this caliber should have numbers retired and get plaques in monument park)
do you feel, like I do, that it cheapens the Yankee tradition and level of greatness originally established with the Yankees monument park with Ruth Gehrig DiMaggio and Mantle?
and, if the Yankees keep this up, when will they start with the 3 digit numbers?
