February 11, 201214 yr Logan Morrison will be the first Marlin to ever wear #5 in 2012. The number was originally retired in honor of Carl Barger.
February 11, 201214 yr @LoMoMarlins: I understand what an honor it is 2 have a # unretired. Want 2 thank Mr. Loria & the Marlins 4 making it happen! So much for the Marlins hate Lomo talk.

February 11, 201214 yr Some may see this as a slap in the face to Carl Barger. I disagree, as the 19-year memorial we had is honorable enough. Time to shed everything about the Florida Marlins.

Lomo said in a tweet he'll wear the number with respect to Barger. I also promise to wear the # with great pride and continue to honor Mr. Barger & his family... -Lomo
February 11, 201214 yr Yoenis must've wanted the number 20 Logan's wanted the #5 for a while now cause of George Brett, his father's favorite player. Cespedes would have nothin' to do with this. Although, if he got the #20, that'd be cool. lol

February 11, 201214 yr Author I don't mind this move. I think retired numbers should be reserved for distinguished players of the particular team; Barger and Jackie Robinson should be honored, but should be honored in other ways not involving retired numbers.

February 11, 201214 yr Idk, I feel conflicted on this. I see the other views and i somewhat agree but if you choose to retire a number (especially of the first Marlins president who passed away) as an honor, it should be kept that way. UNretiring it is disrespectful, in my eyes. Even if the Marlins changed their name, if there wasnt a Florida Marlins there wouldn't be a Miami Marlins. Plus, its not like this is gonna make Lomo like the FO now, i know he'll be gone once free agency hits.
February 11, 201214 yr Author I think ideally the Marlins wouldn't have retired it in the first place and would have found an alternative way of honoring his substantial contributions to the team's birth.

The Marlins will honor Barger with a plaque at their new ballpark. -Joe Capozzi http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/marlins/2012/02/11/where-did-you-go-joe-dimaggio-now-wearing-no-5-for-the-marlins-logan-morrison/
