Dumb question of the day

How come #88 is retired?

By eliminating a typical # used by a wide receiver, that in fact, was the only way we wouldn't be able to add another WR

#88 belonged to JV Cain who died a premature death in training camp when the CARDS were still in St. Louis.

Cain

God bless Cain, number 88 and the black stripe the team wore on its sleeve that season.

Thanks, DieHardFromMO, I had forgotten about that story.

Dont I look like a idiot.

Wasn't #88 retired for Sonny Randle? It's been retired for over 40 years.

No, it is JV Cain. He was an absolute Kellen Winslow clone, dropped dead of a heart attack.

Cardinal luck.
