Unofficial Self Appointed President of the Player Formerly Known as Castro Blocker Fan Club

This seems like...
a way to generate publicity/ticket sales more than anything else.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a minor league team retiring a player’s number, although I’m sure it’s happened.
I doubt they would do it if he were not working for the Cubs
and touring the minor league teams. He likes to help charities and the Cubs like to sell tickets so it works.
