Retired Numbers
Nashville has honored two of its players by retiring their uniform numbers. When a number is retired, no player on the team may wear that number in the future. This ensures that the number will be associated with one player of particular importance to the team.

Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:
“If you want an expert on war, you get a retired general. I’m not exactly a general, but I am retired.”

“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
