DeJong has switched back to no. 11.
Didn’t Kenny Reitz get his number retired? I guess we could bring it back for Goldy. By the way, no one can ever convince me this Gregerson guy ever really existed…just a myth in my mind.

No, at least not by the Cardinals. He is not even in the team Hall of Fame.
BikeMike asked:
Is Oquendo still in the organization?
They have not announced the minor league staffs for 2020 yet, but I expect he will return as a minor league infield instructor.
When Oquendo returned to St. Louis is when DeJong gave up no. 11.
I think Goldy took number 46 as a good will gesture to Gregerson and of course 45 is retired. Now that Gregerson is gone 44 should be available.
My assumption is that if Goldschmidt was changing his number, it would have been included in the video.
I am sorry to have forgotten the blue font, and Kenny Reitz most assuredly should be in the HOF Brian. Have you seen his 1973 topps card? What criteria are you possibly using?
Jim Otto’s # 00 is still my favorite all time sports number. What’s shocking is that nobody has copied it after all of these years. I know if I had made it to the bigs, I would have slapped on #00 so quick your head would spin.
Good call bikemike. Parish’s 00 is retired by the Celts. I wonder if Otto was his inspiration?
For something different, how about a fractional number? Maybe wearing 1/9 or 1/25 would work just to show what a distinctive, yet team-oriented guy you are.
