Committee Chairman
When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the National Football League franchise with the most Super Bowl Championships, you would almost automatically think that they would have the most, or close to the most retired numbers in the NFL. The reality is that they are not even close. Prior to this weekend, the only number retired was the number 70 of Ernie Stautner, which took place in 1964. This was not to say that the Steelers did not take care of their past stars, and they removed multiple numbers from their circulation, but this Sunday marks the first time that…

Committee Chairman
Kevin Youkilis announced today that he is retiring today after a career that saw him win two World Series Rings with the Boston Red Sox. Dubbed “the Greek God of Walks” from the best seller, Moneyball, Youkilis would become one of the more unique players in the game, and amongst Boston Red Sox fans, one of the most popular. Youkilis, who looked anything but an athlete, and had a strange batting stance, was known for his grittiness and intense desire to win, very much epitomizing the Red Sox Championship teams of 2004 and 2007 that he was on. Drafted by…
