Clemente's No. 21 May Be Retired From Play

Submitted by Michael Don, Jan 22, 2008 09:12

Is it any wonder why New York City is in the position it is today. These sycophants have no other pressing matter that they can work on other than whether or not the number 21 should be taken away from baseball. Do they actually think that they are so high and mighty in their thinking and thought processing that the rest of the universe will listen to what they think. Roberto Clemente was a truly great humitarian as well as great ballplayer. He deserves a to be remembered as one of the greatest players and humanitarians. This is not what should be taken up by this council, matters that are more pressing in this city and these should be given priority.
