occurs when acting Commissioner Bud Selig announces that Robinson's number 42
will be retired in perpetuity for every team. On the field, the Mets beat the

1 comment:
That 1-0 24 inning game killed Tommie Agee in his painful 1968. 0-10, 4 Ks. 5 of their starters combined to hit 3 for 47. They could have used a man on 2nd base to start the inning.
