Steve Garvey wants to buy the Dodgers, stay relevant

PrintThe LA Times is reporting that Steve Garvey wants to buy the Dodgers. There is apparently an ownership group in place and Garvey would actually take on some operational control if the deal went through.
If his group were to succeed in buying the Dodgers, he said, he would serve as the managing general partner.
"I think I know what it takes to put a winner on the field," Garvey said.
It's apparently a long shot at this point since the McCourts aren't selling right now.
If Garvey were to buy the Dodgers, can we all agree that his number should be unretired at that point? Unretiring it would only be appropriate and would allow us to make some space for the number 51 that will be going up on the batter's eye in a few years.

I have
an extensive beat up comic book collection
a 4 ft high ball of pocket lint
a used car lot in my front yard
a few thou in the bank
if MLB would loan Hormel a billion dollars (like they did the McCourts),
I would be the new Dodger owner.

Would numbers ever un-retire?
I know it was a joke….but supposing it could happen? Or are we going to add any new numbers anytime soon?

“un-retired” jersey number 11 as a tribute to fellow Venezuelan shortstop Luis Aparicio.

Garvey's done it
He’s shown the world that there is a potential owner worse than Frank McCourt.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
And you thought Jamie McCourt had a lot of sex...
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I love you
for linking Instant Rimshot. That and Sad Trombone are wonderful punctuations to my floundering attempts at internet jokes.
Garvey
Still has the single most important hit in Padres history.
Is there another one even in the running?

I love TG.
I still have a t-shirt commemorating TG’s 3000ths hit
I have a kid named after TG
TG is the best Padre of all time
But his 3,000ths hit did not swing the course of history for the franchise like Garvey’s NLCS game winner did.

If Garvey's number is retired for that hit.
I say Sterling Hitchcock’s is retired for being a pimptastic pitcher during all of the 1998 playoffs.
