Rogers Hornsby?

Are you curious who the woman in my avatar is? She has nothing to do with the Mets but everything to do with this website.

Ken Boyer's #14, Cardinals.

Oops, I see Gwreck beat me to that punch.

He's not on the list, but I believe the Padres retired Randy Jones's number in one of the sillier retired number decisions made by a team with few major stars.

Gil Hodges #14 by the Dodgers
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste
