Sonny Gray Number Retired

  On  Thursday night, Sonny Gray, pitcher for the Oakland Athletics, had his high school number retired. He returned home to Smyrna for the ceremony that took place during half time of the Smyrna Bulldogs-Riverdale Warriors game.

  After the ceremony, in which it was stated that the #2 uniform would still be used by players who are deemed worthy by showing excellence on and off the field, Sonny was interviewed by several local news stations

  He smiled and waved and interacted with the student section of the stands.

  And then he stopped for a group who wanted 'selfies' with him. He also signed a few autographs(including signing my game program!). 

  Thanks for coming home Sonny! Too bad the Bulldogs lost the game 42-20.
