0:10.1	So with David Wright's number five, going to the rafters right next to all those wild card championship years at City Field, it got me thinking, what are the next athletes here, Tiki?
0:20.9	What are the next New York athletes that have their numbers retired in New York?
0:24.0	Or who should have their number retired in New York next?
0:27.8	And I had to go through every team one by one.
0:29.8	And they had the way the, you know, is it current guys?
0:31.8	How far away are they?
