White Sox Un-Retire #11, Vizquel to wear Aparico's number with his blessing
The Chicago White Sox have un-retired uniform No. 11, the number worn by Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio, for the 2010 season, during which it will be worn by Omar Vizquel, the team’s newly acquired 11-time Gold Glove infielder. Vizquel, a native of Venezuela, will don the number as a tribute to Aparicio, who is the first and only Venezuelan to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"If there is one player who I would like to see wear my uniform number with the White Sox, it is Omar Vizquel," said Aparicio. "I have known Omar for a long time. Along with being an outstanding player, he is a good and decent man."
"I feel privileged to have the opportunity to wear the same uniform number with the White Sox as the great Luis Aparicio," said Vizquel. "It is a great honor for me."

Hmm
I get the idea of wanting to pay tribute…but how can you un-retire a number. Maybe Number 11 saw the success Farve had this year and wants to give it another shot.
Now I expect Vizquel to play as well as Aparicio did.
And I don’t care how old he is. If you’re going to pay tribute you’d better be a beast.

Looks like my throwback
will have to be shelved for the season.. I don’t want anyone thinking I’m an Omar Vizquel fan, my reputation is bad enough as it is.

if said anyone actually mistakes your throwback for being an OV fan, do you honestly care about their opinion?
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
No.. I wasn't really being serious.
I could care less, when you buy a jersey with no name on it, I don’t think you’re really expecting the majority of fans to know who it is anyways.

And even if he wasn't OK with it - who cares?
I get the spirit of retired numbers. But they’re not sacred.
Players wore number 11 for over a decade after Aparicio retired. Number 19 was in circulation for 27 years after Billy Pierce left the south side.
Has anyone asked Rudy Law about Vizquel taking number 11? What about Jim Essian?
I’m sure no one cared about Luzinski wearing number 19 when he was crushing balls into the LF upper deck at Comsikey.
Agreed.. he got his approval
No harm in it.

I stated this on the other page
but if in 30 years some stroke wanted to wear number 3 or number 35 (unless it was one of Harold or Frank’s kids)…. I would be steaming. So i get why my dad is pissed about it. Number 11 is sacred for Aparicio… sure rudy law wore it but that was before numbers were retired. Find another number. Wear 13 for Ozzie. I don’t like this.

on the same note... i think giving teahen number 23 is also a sign of disrespect.
at least let it sit on the shelf for a couple seasons before giving away the only world series mvp in team history’s number.

apparently not so sacred for him that he minds vizquel wearing it.
eh it is about him... but it is also about the fans larry.
Aparicio is one of the greatest players in the history of the franchise…. and also a huge fan favorite. Some things should be left alone whether Aparicio cares or not.

my mom loves aparicio.
probably literally. and she thinks this is great.
thankfully pitchers and catchers report in twelve days because debating whether omar vizquel should wear luis aparicio’s uniform number with aparicio’s blessing is getting pretty close to the bottom of the barrel.
that i can agree on.
i just think if a number is retired it should stay retired unless it is your kid or grandkid who is bringing it out… (or you yourself in harold’s case). Thats the last thought i will give this. Until July when we are 10 back.

sure its not that big of a deal in the long run…. but short term I am pretty sure most who care will be against this.

One of those days when I was hanging out with Luis Aparicio, I had the courage to ask him to see if he would let me wear his number and honor his name. He thought about it for a while, then he said it would be great and it would be nice that No. 11 comes out on the field again. Then he said if anyone is going to wear that number, I want you to do it.

Its funny...
For his career, Vizquel has a better AVG, OBP, SLG and fielding percentage than Aparicio. His number was clearly retired because fans liked him rather than he was a stud. So he should have no say whether or not Omar wears his number, the fans should.
Different eras
He made the hall of fame so he must have been OK.
His number one comparable according to baseball-reference is Omar Vizquel. If Aparicio isn’t a stud worthy of having a number retired, then Omar isn’t worthy of getting one out of retirement.

Wiki says:
In 1968, Bud Selig, a former minority owner of the Milwaukee Braves who had been unable to stop the relocation of his team three years earlier, contracted with the Allyn brothers to host nine home games (one against each of the other American League clubs) at Milwaukee County Stadium as part of an attempt to attract an expansion franchise to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The experiment was staggeringly successful – those nine games drew 264,297 fans. In Chicago that season, the White Sox drew 539,478 fans to their remaining 58 home dates (72 games, 14 doubleheaders). In just a handful of games, the Milwaukee crowds accounted for nearly one-third of the total attendance at White Sox games.
In 1969, the league expanded from 10 teams to 12, and the White Sox schedule in Milwaukee was likewise expanded to include 11 home games (again, one against every opponent). Although those games were attended by slightly fewer fans (198,211 fans, for an average of 18,019) they represented a greater percentage of the total White Sox attendance than the previous year – over one-third of the fans who went to White Sox games did so at Milwaukee County Stadium. In the remaining 59 home dates in Chicago (70 games, 11 doubleheaders), the White Sox drew 391,335 for an average of 6,632 per date.
Selig was denied an expansion franchise at the 1968 owners’ meetings, and turned his efforts toward purchasing and relocating an existing club. His search began close to home, with the White Sox themselves. According to Selig, he had a handshake agreement with Arthur Allyn in early 1969 to purchase a majority stake in the Pale Hose and move them north to the Cream City. The American League, however, blocked the sale, unwilling to give up its presence in a major city. Allyn instead sold his shares to his brother John, who agreed to stay in Chicago. Selig would go on to buy the Seattle Pilots and move them to Milwaukee instead.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
I guess we'll know the Sox are serious about Damon if he starts talking about how much he likes the Bulls.
Damon has rooted for the Red Wings for years. He started doing so because of how much he likes Yzerman. Damon’s agent, Scott Boras, talked Monday about Damon’s fervor for the Red Wings.
“When he and I go to a Greek restaurant, he always orders octopus,” Boras said.
But if Damon goes to work for Mike Ilitch, it will be because of how he feels about his baseball team, not his hockey team.

It looked like a god had kissed the snow. It was almost like the snow wanted to talk words of shoveling encouragement to me as I labored lifting the snow. The drift looked like our old friend Gentlemen Jim, oh how I miss him. I stopped reflected in the 35mph brisk wind on what could have been. Then a crack head offered to shovel the rest of the snow for a couple of bucks and I obliged….Gentlemen Jim would have wanted me to do the right thing by keeping cash flowing in the neighborhood.
