Talk:Jim Umbricht

Walt Bond
Yes Bond died while an active player, but not an active Astro. Bond last played for Houston in 1965 and he was active with Minn. Twins the season he died. This may be reason Bond's number was not retired rather than racism. 2001:558:6027:4C:6819:74F8:7240:BA53 (talk) 07:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Wrist bands
No, in 1964 they would have worn black arm bands not wrist bands. 2001:558:6027:4C:6819:74F8:7240:BA53 (talk) 07:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

When was his number retired?
He died April 8, 1964, and the "baseball in 1964" article says his number was retired in 1965, when the team had changed nickname to Astros, and I find that on the Houston Astros page too. But Umbricht's article says his number was retired immediately. Please reconcile. Carlm0404 (talk) 00:31, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
