wondering why, what position he played or are just angry. It will be the first non-baseball related person to be honored but so what?
I can't believe how many people are upset that he's getting a plaque.
Move on with your life. The team on the field is what matters. Not the retired or dead people that are honored near center field.

- Right. I forgot about the Pope plaques. I think they should build a separate area for the non-baseball plaques or monuments. Easy peasy solution. - Krusty Dec 9, 13:50
- Oh wait, they do? Then they might as well put them up for everyone. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:46 12
  - yeah, you can not preach about a team's rich history, and then throw non players out there. - groiny Dec 9, 13:48 11
    - If they are going to put Popes up there they should put Santa, too. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:51 10
