Re: Reds... oldest team in baseball

Keep in mind, Rose's 14 would be retired but for his ban from baseball, so that's one more (and his number is effectively retired, only his son has worn it since). I assume Larkin's will be retired at some point. Likewise, I've written to the Reds suggesting they retire Edd Roush's "number" (he never had one), much as the Giants have for Christy Mathewson & John McGraw (represented merely with the Giant's old NY letters).
