In Japan the number 42 is consider bad luck by some yet 10 players don this number everyday as professional baseball players. In the US this number is revered and has been retired to honor Jackie Robinson's struggle to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball. So I ask, is it an honor or a curse to wear number 42?

The number 42 is retired in US baseball and after Rivera retires no one will be permitted to wear it.
