Maybe not every year, but honor a few guys each year.

Maybe do all the HOF inductees for that year, plus a great or two from yesteryear...

It'd be a great way to promote the past.

And sell jerseys.

Seriously, I think this idea has legs...

The only "negative" is that it would minimize Jackie Day.

I'm game for more Player X Days.

Gehrig Day
Mays Day
Aaron Day
Koufax Day

Across the game, everyone pays tribute with their number on their back.

But I don't want to see any other numbers retired either.

One year the Reds did a Nuxhall day on OD 2008. (Keppinger, KGJ and Phillips in this photo).

Some of them are, shall we say ... a mite back-urds.

This guy is responsible for the Space Program in Detroit ... a couple of his pitches have left the Earth's atmosphere and have not yet landed.
