In researching the answer to #3 i found there are now 8 of them They are listed above in a post by Brooklyn along with The answer given before of Ryan.
At one time, the answer was only Stengel and Aaron.
Ryan has had his number retired by the most teams, 3
The answer to number 3 is a number not a team.
The Pads are corect to the Garvey question.
Hey, by making mistakes on some of these questions, I learn more.

Ok sometimes things happen faster than I can keep track of. I am learning too even after following the game for 42 years. At one time there were only two, Stengel and Aaron.

If you are going to attack me for mistakes, I hope you don't make any mistakes.
I did not intentionally mislead you and tried to correct myself when I found my errors. Give me credit for that at least.
On another thread, Astrosfan has given us a question with no answer.Do you plan on attacking him for that, too. Again I doubt it was intentional. I would like to know who he was thinking of, though.
Personally, I don't think anyone deserves attack.

I appreciate the fact that it was meant as constructive criticism. I'm sorry I didn't take it that way.
I am glad that you are perfect.
