4. What happened in St. Louis in September 2006 that happened in LA in 1972 then in 30 cities in 1997? (3 pts)
   You know how 42 is the answer to life the universe and everything?  Well it’s also part of the answer to this question.  Jackie Robinson’s number 42 was retired by the Dodgers in 1972.  It was then retired by all 30 MLB teams in 1997.  Then in 2006, the Cardinals retired Bruce Sutter’s number 42 – the only player other than Robinson to have #42 retired.  That is likely to change though when Mariano Rivera calls it quits.
