Retired Numbers



The Cubs have honored six players by retiring the five numbers they wore during their Cub tenure. First of course was Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, with his #14. He was not in Mesa during my visit, but I saw all five of the other honorees. Fergie Jenkins wore #31 and Billy Williams #26 in the Fergie & Friends game and Ryne Sandberg was suited up in #23 for the Cub games before he heads off to manage the Iowa Cubs. And on the final morning, with Billy Williams in uniform working with the batters, I saw the other #31, Greg Maddux, working with the pitchers.
All I needed was Ernie to have had a full house!

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
