I've got a huge issue with this.

First, he's still playing.

Also, he is still able to use Jackie's number due to Jackie's being retired across baseball after Mo already had his. After Mo is done, the number remains Jackie's and will never be worn again. The fact that they painted it on the plane as Mo's number is bull****.
