1103 DonnellEvansCAUSI grew up with the McGee family in Richmond,CA. Although I am like 10 yrs. younger than he is, I still recall going to Greater Faith Penacostal Church with him & his family. He deserve to have his number 51 retired, like other good & great players of old has had theirs retired. Big ups to you Dino (thats his nikename) Besides, won't mark mcguires number be retired,even though he cheated the game, the fans, and hisself by using steriods...!!!!! And for all those who remeber,howard cosell lost his job, behind a racist comment he made about WILLIE MCGEE.

1107 DanScottIt would be a shame for any current or future Cardinal to wear #51. Willie was a world class athelete and always carried himself in a professional manner. For me its always hard to look out into Centefield and not see Willie patrolling the area. He is a hero to many and role model for all future baseball players. Retire Willie McGee's number. He deserves it at much as any other number thats been retired. You can never mention the name Willie McGee in St. Louis and not expect a hoot or holar as he is as much a part of the baseball culture as hot dogs and peanuts. Give him his due. He gave his all for the St. Louis Cardinals organization.

1118 JonSchaferUSWillie was my favorite player as a kid. I took a magic marker and wrote "51" on the back of my replica Cardinal batting helmet so I could be like him!
1119 mariannebeardenMOUSi really miss watching Mcgee play!
1120 GaryDiesenCAUSIam a little older than willie.I also went to harryells high school in Richmond ,Ca.Iam also a long time friend of Orlando Cepeda.he thinks the world of Willie.Baseball is his life.he was very devoted to baseball and st.louis he most definatly deserves this.good luck Willie
1121 WilliamHarrisARUSI had the joy of watching Willie McGhee play during his entire career. I don't ever recall him getting thrown out of of a game or arguing a pitch. He was touch to strike out and his field play excellent. If Ozzie Smith's jersey is retired Willie's most certainly should be. (Maybe Willie should have done a cartwheel instead of a backflip to get more attention, then he probably would have gotten more attention)
1122 BrianMuellerUSAbsolutely will be my greatest baseball hero. Willie always had the talent, work ethic and results to match, yet always had the humility to feel surprised by his success.
1123 PatrickHydeMOUSWillie McGee is one of the best Cardinals, and his number is HIS number, so lets retire it.

1125 BarclayNicholsILUSWillie is my favorite Cardinal of all time. I grew up watching him make amazing catches in the outfield, and loving every time he pigeon toed his was to the plate. He is the greatest.

1127 JakeBargeORUSRetire 51. Willie McGee was a player you loved to root for. And he was 1985 NL MVP. Why in hell would you NOT retire his number?
