yes, Wainwright, Yadi Molina and Pujols retiring at the same time, is appropriate.

Maybe they all go into the HOF at the same time, but I don't know if theother 2 are first ballot HOF, Yadi should be, but ...

for my 2 cents, it would be cool if Ichiro were to come out of retirement, and take 1 more at bat, and retire again, so he could go in the HOF with Pujols. because they came into the league together and shared a rookie card.

Right! I don't watch the Cardinals much even though I get Bally Midwest, yet I watched the entire series against the Padres to see him hit one. After a busy day I get home to find out it was an Apple exclusive, then find out he hit 699. I was so mad. Then he hit 700! I was (um... much harder word than mad). I really wish he'd reconsider about retirement for one more year, but its the perfect time to do it with Yadi and Waino retiring. While I never want St. Louis to win a World Series, I would actually be happy if they could do it this year as one final sendoff.

It isn't included in the 700, but I don't believe the one he hit in Game 5 in 2005 against my Astros in the NLCS has landed. Great achievement from a quality person. ------------------------------- Taking a break until November 6th.

I am also mad that the regular daily TV crew was robbed of the privilege of calling that as well. Especially Danny Mac. Mark switzr1 wrote: Yeah I'm not real happy that I couldn't see it either. Neither is my Dad.
