    Considering the parade of players heading out there with plaques and having their number retired I think it's a no brainer. Not just a great player but for his service to his country alone. The guy landed on Normandy.

    I always felt why are the Steinbrenners omitting The
    Great Yogi? His omission says more about the owners
    than about the man. Yogi belonged before others were
    admitted.

    ^^^don't understand the thinking behind stealing something like that...I mean, realistically, it can't be sold on the open market.

    By no means am I a Yankees fan, but how does he not have one already? Do you have to be dead to get a plaque? So Jeter's not going to get one for 50 years or so?

    He has a plaque but not a monument out there. It's a more rare honor but personally for Yogi it should be a no brainer. Not only do you have an all time great from your organization but an all time great in the game itself. And as I mentioned that doesn't even touch on the fact that he served in WWII and was able to tell the story of landing on the beach at Normandy.

    I'll have to wait until the Yanks are in the WS again and join up with the other bandwagonners so you don't notice. ;)

    For his entire body of work on & off the field I'd have to say yes.

    I was hoping they had been recovered, simply to give Yogi "some relief" - in a time, when He was literally looking at his last months, ....

    Yes, as in If their in another Series, or Yes, you've finally realized that moment when everything in the Universe finally makes sense, knowing it is never tooo late to cross over to the dark side......and be a Yankee Fan.....

    Besides, I know they're plenty of bandwagons in Libtard Oregon, been there, seen 'em 1st hand, its like a endless parking lot of 'em....

    No Conversion....???, It's FREE..... (done daily, have conversion kit will travel ).....:bored:

    Otherwise, were gonna' steal your water, ....

    or sick Darth Vader Jr. on Ya'll..........:blush: - (I think that's Tote as a kid)...
