No, no average players no matter how beloved get their #'s retired.
Unless you count they were an average player, but then became a very good coach/manager, but just true average players no matter how beloved do not get their #'s retired.
If so the Cubs would have retired Buckner, DeJesus, Mark Grace, among others.
Gotta put up numbers.
But Pettite, maybe Michael Young (Texas), Jimmy Wynn (Houston), Strawberry & Gooden (Mets) are among the weakest out there compared to the Greats of the game that have their #'s retired.
