The truth be told, New York Yankee fans expect that the organization will retire Paul O'Neill's number. They finally nudged him to play in Old Timer's Day last years; and it wouldn't be fitting to retire his number in the new stadium. So the question remains is that the real reason why Hawkins gave up the shirt?
Rumors have been flying since Paulie retired that any season now, the Yankees would honor the warrior.
There are two retired Yankees who dwell deep in the hearts of fans, Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams. O'Neill is on good terms with the Yankees, 
Williams I have no clue. No one has seen him since he was ousted before he wanted to go.
Williams I have no clue. No one has seen him since he was ousted before he wanted to go. Both players have made stadium and Yankee history. Williams stands in the top 10 in many Yankee records. So that brings me back to this question, are we retiring any numbers this year? To do justice to one, without the other would be un-Yankee like; and Williams like O'Neill deserves to have his number retired in the House That Ruth Built.
