I suggest retiring uniform number 42 across all Broken Bat teams in honor of Jackie Robinson. We at Denvy have not issued it ever.

Why just Robinson? Why not Roberto Clemente or Willie Mays or others who are also deserving of having their numbers retired... 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?

Rock makes some good points. It would be weird to have a jersey number retired for a player outside of the BB universe.

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.
