I figured that was wha...Thanks for the reply Todd. I figured that was what your thoughts would be on the topic after reading your earlier posts. I'm also comforted to know that a lot of people in the South Bronx feel this way as well. If you or any of your friends ever get the chance to talk to LaTroy during BP or while getting an autograph after the game or something like that, please convey to LaTroy that not all Yankees fans (and I hope the majority) felt he should give up the number or had any displeasure with him wearing that number. In fact, I believe most of us thought it was a very honorable thing he did in wearing it.rodg12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02021824484784250146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750277659132824051.post-12324307944906504352008-04-16T15:44:00.000-04:002008-04-16T15:44:00.000-04:00Rodg12,I’m sorry that I didn’t respond sooner, but...Rodg12,<BR/>I’m sorry that I didn’t respond sooner, but it’s busy at work today. I will try and write something about this after the game and post it tomorrow. I have written about LaTroy Hawkins a couple of times this month:<BR/><BR/>http://yankeesforjustice.blogspot.com/<BR/>2008/04/turning-page.html<BR/><BR/>http://yankeesforjustice.blogspot.com/<BR/>2008/04/21-forever.html<BR/><BR/>If you read those pieces you will understand that I love Hawkins and everything he has been as a person and a player and a teammate. I wish he could have worn the 21 forever and I am ashamed that he was treated this way in my country and my city and my neighborhood. I think it’s important to understand that all the people I know in the South Bronx are very ashamed of this, too.<BR/><BR/>I read some of the comments about this over on Pete Abraham’s blog and I felt very sad. I can’t believe this has happened, but I think it shows that the work started by Jackie Robinson and Buck O’Neil and Roberto Clemente and Martin Luther King and millions of other great people is far from completed.Todd Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780724600781551020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750277659132824051.post-24989429652347044862008-04-16T10:20:00.000-04:002008-04-16T10:20:00.000-04:00Todd:I'd like to hear your friends and your though...Todd:<BR/>I'd like to hear your friends and your thoughts on the LaTroy Hawkins switching numbers issue.
