totally fucking agree. totally fcucking agree.

I also have to agree. The guy won 3 of this Cy Youngs with the Braves, had the best years of his career with them and won the WS with them. As much as I love him, his number should not be retired by the Cubs. He sure as hell won't go into the Hall as a Cub.

Um, guys? IMO, it's because they shared the same number. If they had different numbers, they would only be retiring Fergie's. But since they're the same, and they're doing Fergie's, they're calling it both.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But why? IMO that is disrespectful to Fergie. I don't know for sure, but I am guessing other guys wore Santo's number after he retired, but they aren't sharing the retirement. Now, I understand that Maddux is a HOFer, however, he is not a Cubs HOFer...Fergie is....Fergie deserves this all by himself.
Like I said, I love Maddux, but he is a HOFer with the Braves and should have his number retired by them and them only...not the Cubs also.
