Our brother Joe Rog recently turned 70. STILL HERE does not retire jerseys for two reasons: 1.) None of us has been good enough to deserve it. 2.) The spirit of STILL HERE is that no man EVER retires from the game. No one symbolizes the heart and soul of the STILL HERE philosophy better than Joe. Just days before his birthday he sank three three-pointers in the span of about 45 seconds. To celebrate Joe's birthday, STILL HERE --- on behalf of every man who has ever worn our team's colors --- awarded Joe a jersey with his name and number (1.) in gold lettering. This is the first of what will be a tradition when someone achieves above and beyond. No other STILL HERE player will have the right to wear Number 1. That gold number belongs to Joe for all time with the great respect of every man who knows him.
