Who was the only professional athlete to have his number retired while he was still an active player?


Gehrig?
I feel like I’ve seen before he had his retired during his speech


Nope. Right sport, though.

The correct answer may be rather surprising.

I think you just retire that players jersey, not the number.

I actually had to look up Gehrig after that.
Got it confused, he was actually the first American pro sports team player to have his number retired

For your question. Not a fricking clue.

You don't have to follow MSU sports to know who Jake Mangum is. He became the SEC all-time hits leader this past season.

Harold Baines's number was retired by the White Sox when he was traded to Texas. It was subsequently unretired when he returned to the White Sox.
