R.A. Dickey should have his jersey retired

[NighthawkVol]

Right now, it’s just Holloway, Garner, and Helton on the left field wall. Dickey was an All American and won a Cy Young Award. He deserves it.

Aren’t those all two sport athletes that also played football?

Did Phil Garner play football?

Football should have NOTHING to do with it

Let me add that I don’t think it does. I think Dickey & Chris Burke should have their jerseys retired. Probably others too. Not all of LSUs retired jerseys were MLB superstars.

RA Dickey is my 5th cousin. A distant relative, but a relative nonetheless. Cool story, me.

I definitely think Dickey and Burke's jerseys should be on the wall.

Hochever is another. Honeycutt too.

I think Rod Delmonico should have his jersey retired.

Tony Vitello will get his retired too at some point.

R.A. should have his number retired based on Tennessee throwing his arm out alone. Not to mention what he did on the field and then went on to reinvent himself in the big leagues......

No.

Honeycutt was the first one I thought of. He was a helluva hitter also.

Here's the UTAD jersey retirement criteria and the listing of retired jerseys. It looks like it is not an automatic thing since their is a nominating committee.

Thanks for that. I knew football had certain criteria. I don't like it. Just use a committee to decide.

RA Dickey and Chris Burke are no brainers. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.

Some people need to wake the F up. Celebrate your tradition and Tennessee has better tradition that 3 retired jerseys.
