Puck

Added points because of the Phillies name.

Dennis Rodman wore 73 for the Lakers.

And we now have Ron Artest wearing 37..."Bad Guy" coinkidink?

Though I think he gave some reason for it. Oh well, his being a Laker gives me another reason to not like the guy.

As I remember it, Artest's 37 has something to do with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album. He had discussed that on The Dan Patrick show.

triple: 1

puck: 0

Puck could tie it up by pointing out how much of that homegrown talent would be lost by teams in other markets.

Why would I want to tie it up? I made a commentary about the Yankees we all now to be true ( ) and someone came armed with facts. If anything, I say kudos to them.

And it also wasn't a big commentary on free agency either, so there's no need to go there as well.

Mark Teixeira

CC Sabathia

Wouldn't it be easier or quicker if you just posted a NY Yankees team photo and put arrows on everyone that was "home grown?"

Not that there's a still image, but here's a video of Frank Caliendo taking batting practice with the Diamondbacks.

That dude ain't been in the right uniform since the Sixers' last rebranded.

At this point in time, maybe we should just say the only "right" uniform is Georgetown?

Can I get a second?

Supposedly it was suppose to be like a 'futuristic' prototype for baseball jerseys that they only ended up wearing a couple times(no wonder why). Definitely interesting though.

All these years later, is TATC such a big secret?

Apparently to those who can't use the search feature...or Google.

You're a cool guy. I really mean that.

It was just brought up during the telecast yesterday, so I posted a pic. No need to get all high and mighty on a damn internet message board.

Even though responding to this is a deviation from the topic, there's no high and mighty here. There's a search feature, you could have used it. Also, a judgment call as well since most people would recognize Larry Walker as a Rockies star.

Yoink.

Jimmy Waite says hi.

Why can't I take this seriously?

David Beckham in a New Orleans Saints practice uni:

Those arms

In David's defense, he really only has to carry or throw around the following:

man purse, soccer ball, kids and Victoria Beckham.

With the weight of these things in decending order.

LaFontaine isn't the only vet who sold out to the Rangers only to flame out and quit....

Can someone post basically every Edmonton Oilers' championship picture then?

Before I get crucified analyze the pictures:

Nothing 'wrong' with those photos. Some coaches still believe that you need to work your way up in order to select a jersey number, otherwise you are just assigned one out of training camp.

Pssst. This is our crossover/spinoff: Legends in the Wrong Numbers thread.

Who cares? It's a thread on an internet message board. It really doesn't need guidelines that will restrict it to naming 5 more players and then hitting the graveyard.

+1.

I know the title says "legends", but it's amusing to see others in the "wrong" uniforms. Chuck Knoblauch is not a legend, but he still looks weird in a Royals uniform.

And just because he may still be active (perhaps) does not mean Favre's Falcons uniform does not serve the same purpose as Namath's Rams uniform.

People would know Knoblauch...the Madsen post though, really?

How does this one even fit?

Mark Grace

Wrong position too.

I will give you that, but with the understanding he probably had as much of an impact with the 'Backs as he did with the Cubs, unlike the majority if not ALL the other entrants in this thread.

I disagree.

He was at the tail end of his career when he left Chicago, and if Arizona doesn't win it all in 2001, Gracey is only remembered as a Cub.

Well your statement hinges on the word, "if," doesn't it? They DID and it's cemented as such.

I started at the end and worked my way back to page 22...can't take it any more. (Too much Favre turning my tummy.)

So how 'bout this?

Wait, he actually played? I thought he had a minor-league contract for a few days or something.

.202 with 3 HR, 51 RBI, 30 SB, and 11 errors

Well, he did actually play the game unlike the few other celebrities who showed up for a day of Spring Training that are in this thread.

I'm also going to add:

Michael Jordon playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Fall League.

I'm going to have to call shenanigans on this one.

As a very quick aside on this topic. How in years to come are people going to feel about Kevin Garnett's years in Boston? I mean, without finally getting a championship in Boston, he would be a shoo in for this topic, but I kind of think of Garnett as a Celtic now, not a T-wolf seeing out his final years in the wrong uniform.

He fit in so well and quickly as a Celtics, it seems like he was destined to be in green.

KG in a Timberwolves uniform looks like a legend in the wrong uniform to me now.

Its odd isn't it, because I would sort of agree with you. But I think its interesting that Garnett seems like a man living out his destiny with a ring in Boston, whereas say Ray Bourque has to go to Colorado to win the Stanley Cup, but he will be forever a Bruin to a lot of people, I think.

I've actually always been curious about this. Does anyone in Boston hate Ray for leaving for a chance at the Cup? The guy bled black and gold, stayed when others left. Carried the team when it needed it. So, who hates the guy for wanting to get his and call it a career? And let's be honest, it ended his career when he got what he wanted. He didn't stick around and continue to stick it in the back for Bruins fans.

I did some baseball players that were traded as prospect a later became stars. Here are a few more:

Adam Jones with the Mariners:

Jeremy Guthrie with the Indians:

Scott Kazmir with the Mets:

Matt Garza with the Twins:

Time Wakefield with the Pirates:

Grady Sizemore with the Expos:

sorry if some of these have already been posted, I haven't look through this whole thread in a long time.

I think we need to redefine what "legend" means once again.

And damn that Time Wakefield and his knuckleball!

... just kidding. Well, maybe.

Tavares will leave his mark on Long Island, you'll see.

Just as long as it's not the same way Eric Lindros left his on Quebec.

Defiantly not a legend,but Charlie Sheen in an Indians uniform. God I hate Two and a Half Men.

Doesn't count until you find Wild Thing in another uniform.

I'm still amazed by the ways I can be corrected on this forum.

Thank you for that!

-Eddie Murray with the Angels.

I'm probably wrong, but isn't that his stint with Cleveland?

Well that is what I get for trusting captions on pictures.

Havent' we all done that once or twice?
