Retiring Jersey Numbers.............


Uncle Si

Recommended Posts

Just a question......  In your opinion, what accomplishments or justification is required for a school to retire a jersey/number.  At our local school only one number has been retired in school history. That jersey/number was retired in honor of an athlete that had won Olympic gold medals and played professional sports.  There have been many collegiate players, state title teams, and record holders from our school but none of those were retired.  There are only so many numbers that can be used on jerseys and it blows my mind when I hear of schools retiring jerseys for minimal achievements.  What's your thoughts on this?

Personally I think it should be at the school's discretion.  99% or more of all high schools in America will not have any pro athletes..  If they feel as someone is worthy.. who's to argue.
