Ced Joined: 11/07/2014 Posts: 621 Denver Broncos IV.4 | I suggest retiring uniform number 42 across all Broken Bat teams in honor of Jackie Robinson. We at Denvy have not issued it ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Robinson |

Seems like a bit of a slippery slope to me. I know the MLB teams all retired the number, but Robinson never played in the Broken Bat league... Feels like an unnecessary restriction. What if someone gets a player named Jack Robinson, and wants to give him number 42? |

That said, I would be willing to take one for the team. Steve should create a player named Jackie Robinson, give him 18 potential and put him on the Leopards' roster. |
