Rays To Retire Don Zimmer's No. 66 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Mar 25, 2015 12:24 pm

The Tampa Bay Rays will honor Don Zimmer by retiring uniform No. 66 before their April 6 season opener against the Baltimore Orioles.

Zimmer spent 11 years with the Rays, from 2004-14. It was his longest stint in his 66 years with 14 Major League teams as a player, coach, manager or adviser.

He was 83 when he died on June 4, 2014. Three days later, the Rays and Seattle Mariners wore Zimmer's No. 23 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey in a pregame tribute at Tropicana Field.
