This baseball item barely made it into Sunday's Chicago Tribune within a story about ticket sales, but the Cubs have given Sammy Sosa's old uniform #21 to former Cardinals oil rig fire Jason Marquis. So much for the debate about whether the club would ever officially retire the number. Those are some short memories in the Cubbies' front office. One of the things I distinctly remember about the evening of September 8th, 1998, was the announcement by Cardinals' co-owner Bill DeWitt that Mark McGwire's #25 would one day join the Birds' list of retired numbers. Six years after Big Mac's retirement from the game, we're still waiting for that honor to be bestowed as well.
