GT to retire #44

[RoanokeJacket]

If it is out for one season is it really retired?

It is kind of like how a scholarship "commitment" is a "commitment". Language means nothing

Yeah this. Also If you go all in with representing the city you have to commemorate Hank Aaron. Some of you are whiny cunts who’ll bitch about anything.

Will the team be in rainbow uniforms for the game that coincides with the Pride Week parade? If they are gonna go all in for the 404, isn't that a big part of it as weĺl?

Sure. I’d rather have gay fans than dumbasses like you.

Whether racially motivated or homophobic you're still a bigot piece of öööö.

Classy move from Atlanta’s college team.

It's a fine gesture. If I am Quez, I don’t mind it. Looks good on him to give up the # to honor a legend.

Quez may be in line for a single digit number next season anyway.

That's what I was thinking as well. Even if he doesn't, still cool as hell to be the guy whose number is to be retired for a year for Hank Aaron.

Classy move from one of Atlanta’s college teams.

What is GSU doing?

What are Tech's, GSU's, and Mercer's basketball teams doing?

How about baseball? The most relevant sport for this.

So what are Milwaukee teams doing to honor Hank Aaron?

Think he played more seasons in Milwaukee.
He hit more homers as a Milwaukee player too

Well for one the Brewers plan to wear the no. 44 on their sleeves throughout the 2021 season. He may have played in Milwaukee longer but he was one of ours and he'd be the first to tell you that.

Sometimes I wonder if some of yall even cheer after touchdowns or if you just sit there miserable because there's a cloud in the sky.

This should be a bannable offense. There is only ONE Atlanta college team.

Meh but ok. Hank Aaron represents more than just baseball and he deserves every recognition he gets, imo.

True. And I guarantee you at least a mention of it makes it onto the local news stations when they hold the ceremony or whatever they do. Pretty ingenious marketing with the 1-year deal, IMO.

When the hell did Mercer become an "Atlanta" school? Don't they play their home games out of Macon, like all of the other Mercer sports? If so, that's further away than the stupid-ass dwags.

The only relevant question you posed is about baseball and I agree with you that they should do the same move. Hell, we could retire 44 different baseball #'s for one season. We only have 25 roster players at a time anyway.

I wonder what MC Hammer is going to do since his monicker "Hammer" was allegedly given to him because he looked like Hank. Maybe we could bring MC Hammer into a half-time show to honor Hank Aaron.

Supposedly Reggie Jackson gave young Hammer the nickname when he was a batboy for the A's. Hank approved.
