Sporcle may have been the single reason for the most lost productivity at my job in the first few months of 2009. It may also explain why I no longer have a job.
He was one of the Astros' first stars, pitching no-hitters in 1967 and 1969. He died of carbon-monoxide poisoning in 1975, and the Astros retired his number 40 immediately thereafter.

<< <i>Why do the Astros have so many? >>
Because they're the greatest franchise ever...duh.
I think if you pass gas loud enough in Houston you get your jersey retired.... Jim Wynn really...
Got 72 by the way.
What I'm selling
Building Sets, Collecting Texas Rangers, and Texas Tech Red Raiders
Then again, I couldn't think of Lasorda, Alston, Koufax, Mattingly, Feller, Rizzuto or Brock
I did get all the Mets, Brewers, Padres, Twins, Braves, Cubs, Reds, and 14 of the 16 Yankees (oh, and the only Ray)

edited to add that I can't believe Pete LaCo*k's number was never retired.
Thanks for the link, that was fun.
