Darryl Kile’s number needs to be retired

No, his numbers alone aren’t good enough. There’s other factors though. The DK plaque in left center isn’t enough. He played almost four times as many games for Houston as Jim Umbricht. He had a huge impact with us for the early to mid 90s. Yes, he was a Cardinal when he passed but he was more known for his time with us. Am I wrong with thinking 57 needs to join the other retired numbers officially? I don’t want to wait until we have another star that wears that number to have this discussion.

As an aside, would like to also mention that Walt Bond’s 23 should be retired as well. He died as an active player and had his most productive years in Houston
