DCarp1231 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 (Not that this really adds anything to the conversation, but...) When I play MLB The Show I typically make my starting MiLB number 0 then move my way up the number ladder until I get added to an MLB roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2003, it's been reserved for the mascot, Pat Patriot. I think Pat Patriot STILL wears #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I take issue with here is a pitcher wearing a single-digit number, which is a very bad look. This I agree with. I love the 1985 Blue Jays, and I'm a huge fan of Cliff Johnson. But that was not the right thing to do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with Yankee jersey retirements, isn't 0 the only single-digit number left for them?

Sadly, that is true. While Roger Maris's story is a great one, I cannot agree that he rates a number retiring. The retiring of his number 9 was a reaction to his having been treated badly by fans during his home-run-record-setting season, as well as to his contracting a terminal illness at a young age. And there should definitely be no retired number for Billy Martin, who brought the team more shame than glory, even given his excellent play in two World Series.

However, with the following stipulations attached- Can be used by any player during preseason. Only used by QBs, Kickers, and Punters in regular season. I'd like it better for RBs and WRs but I'm weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember James Conner’s rookie season when he along with other rookies had their jerseys on NFL Shop with 00. I thought it looked pretty good, IMO.

I think I'm a bit weirder in that I think the only number stipulation that should be is that offensive linemen, since they aren't eligible receivers, should have their own set of numbers that no other offensive player can use, but other than that, anything should be able to go. I was cool with Devin Gardner wearing 98 at QB at Michigan and in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigFiz21 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Only 3 QBs have ever worn 2 for the Ravens. The most recent to do it? Jimmy Clausen in 2015, which includes that appearance of the pants that caused a riot in the Flock lol The other 2s? Tyrod Taylor and Anthony Wright Also just remembered RG3 is the first 3 with the Ravens since HOFer Matt Stover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well keep the sequential number train for Baltimore rolling... only two players have ever worn 4 for the Ravens. QB Jim Harbaugh (1998) P Sam Koch (2006-present) The number 5 has only been worn by three players in Baltimore’s existence- P Kyle Richardson (1998-2001) K Rhys Lloyd (2007) - can’t find a picture - QB Joe Flacco (2008-18) IIRC, When Baltimore traded Flacco, they said no other player will wear 5 ever again.

Lights Out Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The numbers 16 and 26 have only been worn once each in the history of the Clippers (by Wang Zhizhi and James Robinson respectively). POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillWIll Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 With Jae Crowder and his #99 joining the Suns, he will be the 9th player to have a number containing 9 in Suns history. Also interestingly enough, the Spurs are the only team in the NBA to never have had anyone wear 0, however they do have 00 retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorBigShots Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Only 2 players have ever worn numbers in the 90's for the Minnesota Wild Pierre Marc-Bouchard from 2003 to 2013 and Branko Radivojevic in the 2007-2008 season But, with Kirill Kaprizov and Marcus Johansson joining the team this season, that number will go up to 4. Kaprizov will wear 97, and Johansson will wear 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Steve Young is the only player to ever wear #8 for the San Francisco 49ers (and, apart from preseason players, will presumably be the only #8 since his number's been retired). This always struck me as weird - the 49ers played 4 seasons in the AAFC (which had its own odd numbering system, yeah Otto Graham wearing #60 as a quarterback!) but had been in the NFL since 1950. Young joined the 49ers in 1987, that's 37 seasons without having a #8! It would seem less odd if it were 74 or 96 or something. I know, there were usually only a half dozen or so players per year wearing numbers in the 1-19 range (2-3 QBs, a kicker and punter)... but it sure seems like someone would've picked 8 before 1987.

That's wild. Must be something about #8. The Eagles didn't have an 8 from 1940-1972, and then have had a few decade-plus gaps without anyone wearing it up until the 2010s when each of their punters wore it for a combined 7 seasons.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Washington has had a player use 8 from 2010-11 & ‘14-current 2010-11: Rex Grossman 2014-17: Kirk Cousins 2018: Josh Johnson 2019: Case Keenum 2020: Kyle Allen 2021? Who the hell knows, but my guess is either Allen or someone completely different. Also for Washington, there was a nine season gap between uses of 4 Graham Gano (K) 2009-12 Taylor Heinicke (QB) 2020 Just like with the use of 8, for 2021, it’s probably either going to be Heinicke or not appear again for another nine seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
