Just came over the radio....sox signed Ellis Burks and he will be wearing the number 25. Not a bad signing, I always liked Burks.:huh:

#25 should be retired.

I hope it helps the Sox by signing him.

I agree.....Tony C. was ahead of my time just a little, but I am pretty up on my baseball history. Youngest player ever to reach the 100 homerun mark, and the youngest ever to lead the league in homeruns, hit a homerun in his first at-bat at his hometown Fenway Park.......great player and a tragic story. He deserves to have the number 25 hang up there with the other sox greats.:kewl:
