I doubt it will take years. If Bernie opts to retire this preseason, not only will his number be retired immediately, but we'll also have a "Bernie Williams' Day" at the Stadium by next year at the latest, in which he'll be honored with a well-deserved plaque out in Monument Park.
I love Bernie, and I'll miss him, but I want to see Bernie retire with his dignity intact. I don't want to see him embarrassed by forcing the hand of Cashman & Torre this spring. I hope he retires of his own accord, so that we, the fans, can give him the loving send-off that he has earned.
