I want to get my bf a personalized jersey for christmas with his name on the back.
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2285758&cp=717457&parentPage=family&searchId=22200632194

What number should I put though? I was going to use #3 (that's his fav number) but I realized that number was retired for Babe Ruth. Is it cool to use a retired number if you are going to personalize it?


The other thing i was thinking was use his birth yr like "81."

Any one got any better suggestions on how I should choose a number to put on there ????

With the Cardinals refusing the one-year option on So Taguchi and Scott Rolen looking for a trade, is this the beginning of the end of the Cardinals reign in the National League?

For me, it would have to be Manny Ramirez. He's so unpredictable, but that's what makes him likable!

So which player (any team, obviously) do you enjoy watching the most?

Free Agents for the Red Sox:

Mike Lowell
Mike Timlin
Eric Hinske
Doug Mirabelli
Bobby Kielty
Eric Gagne
Matt Clement

Lowell, I think everyone wants him to come back. Timlin, I think the Sox should go after him. He's a veteran pitcher who can help the younger guys, and is a pretty good reliever. Kielty is good off the bench, but I think he wants to play everyday. Mirabelli, I could live without, but they'll need to find another back-up catcher. Hinske, I don't really care. If they resign him, cool, if not, whatever. Clement and Gagne need to stay far away from Boston as possible.

What do you think?

While I really like both players, Jacoby Ellsbury showed everyone how skilled he was in playing center field. His fielding this year was amazing! So should he replace Coco Crisp? What do you think about this?

It now looks like the Mets are back in the mix for A-Rod. I am not asking if you like A-Rod, I would only like to know if you believe the Mets would be a better team with him.

Do you think its karma with MLB, Pete Rose, steroids/hgh and asteriks talked about being placed near records that have been broken recently? No one can question Pete Rose's commitment and effort IN THE FIELD OF PLAY. It's what he did OFF THE FIELD OF PLAY. Consequently, he gets a lifetime ban from MLB supposely for putting a really bad mark on it. However, today you have steroid/hgh prevalent in MLB which in my opinion is just as detrimental to the game of baseball. I am not saying I know who exactly's guilty, but they probably will not recieve a lifetime ban from MLB even though they cheated IN THE FIELD OF PLAY. Say what you want, Pete Rose was one of the greatest players to ever step ON THE FIELD. Ban Pete Rose for OFF THE FIELD antics. Do not ban players for ON THE Field antics. All of his records were set honestly, no atericks needed. I don't care if he's booed and hekled at his Hall Of Fame speech, he deserves to put in the Hall Of Fame, now! What's your viewpoint?

He's a sports agent, whose sole responsibility is to find well-paid employment for his players. He does this better than anyone else, which is why he has such an impressive client list. Nobody forces general managers into those enormous contracts.

Boras takes only a 5% commission on negotiated contracts, the lowest in the business. He also bases contract demands on statistics, which makes him an innovator. So, why is he being labeled as ruining baseball when he simply does his job? Would you not want someone like this - a former minor league player himself, and hard bargainer - working for you if you were an athlete?

The White Sox are trying to shop a .259 life time hitter coming off of back surgery like he was one of the top corner men in the league.

He has not had one 100 rbi season
He has not won a gold glove.

How does one 30 home run season make him all that?
