SAN JOSE The large teal banner with a No. 12 on it began to be raised at 6:46 p.m. on Saturday.Watching from a short distance away, Patrick Marleau, already teary-eyed from a touching 30-minute speech, stood with his family as it was slowly lifted to the rafters at SAP Center.More than 25 years after he played his first game inside the downtown arena, just weeks after his 18th birthday, Marleau had his number officially retired by the San Jose Sharks, the organization with which he made NHL history.
