While he did spend the majority of his career as an Astro, he probably wasn't good enough in his time there to demand retirement. While they have retired other numbers of players who passed away, the time that has elapsed since his untimely death makes the chances 57 is retired less likely.Theohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356047156527558873noreply@blogger.com
