Gossage a Bronze Plaque...?

A wrongful omission on my part, and the Yanx, IMO...he too deserves a Monument in my blind eyes....!

I think it's really hard to differentiate the success & legacy of Huggins, Stengel, McCarthy & Torre...

If they were to add more MONUMENTS to the existing 5 I would have one for McCarthy (won 6 of 8 world series), Stengel (who won 7 of 10 world series) Jeter & Rivera.

Paul is getting his plaque sometime in August.

I know & I believe he should... I was more saying what I said as others had said it should be limited to the career Yankee....

I agree. I mean I loved the guy but Guidry was a career Yankee & I don't think his # should have been retired. A plaque yes. Lets face it they really lowered the standard when they retired Jackson's #. O'Neill played 9 years with the Yankees. played in over 1,200 games as a Yankee, Went to 5 world series & won 4 of them. And in 9 years he averaged 20 HRs, 95 RBI & a 303 batting average. And in 76 playoff games his #s were 10/34/281 Not to shabby. And IMO much more deserving then Jackson.

BTW: I also heard that the'll be honoring Bernie Williams next year. Don't know if that means a plaque or a retired number.
