Nope. He's retiring as a Yankee on Friday.

are the yankees going to have separate retirement days for Posado, Jeter, Bernie and Rivera or do them all at once? my guess is separate, have to draw the fans in somehow.

the Phils are adding Burrell to the wall of fame on July 31st. hopefully they bring back all his ex girlfriends and one night stands too so they can sell out the park. has to be in the Wilt Chamberlain numbers.

Burrell already came back for his "official retirement" as a Phillie.
CoPers LOVED to hate Pat and only came back to appreciate him after their WS year. He had a career OPS with them of .852. In the last 4 years, only an enhanced Carlos Ruiz has come close to that for the Phils.

Burrell had a great career with the Phillies. one of the more underappreciated players in recent years.

he used to kill the Mets, nothing better than Burrell hitting a walk off vs NY.

Burrell had a great career with the Phillies. one of the more underappreciated players in recent years.

The best part of it was people ragging on his bad range and defense then being subjected to a few years of Ibanez and Pierre in LF.

and now Ben Revere!

man they were some good times , and great teams. should won at least 3 WS.

Is there anything more CoP than to turn a thread about something non-CoP into a thread about something CoP.
