Moser316 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 This question is for the current and former athletes on this board: what's your uniform number? Currently, the only sport I play on a competitive level is hurling, and I wear #4 on the back of my jersey. I wanted to get #5 (the number I wore when I played baseball in high school), but I couldn't find it in the pile of jerseys at our team's last practice, so I settled on #4 instead.I now open up the floor to the rest of you weekend warriors and Al Bundys...

DrBear Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 When our company sprang for new softball unis, I went for No. 44 - Hank Aaron's number. I had exactly one walk all season (but I did get around to score on another walk and a homer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If I had played a competitive sport I would have picked #21, since I was born on March 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

WJMorris3 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 When I played football in high school, I sprung for #60, in honor of Chuck Bednarik. (I was trying to make it as a center and linebacker but ended up a two way tackle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSidePride Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I was always the biggest kid on my baseball team, so I always got 12, the largest number on the team. But the final year they got 3 in XL so I was able to wear that. 3 has always been my number, but when I play Football (TE) I wear 44 and 88. 44 for Hank Aaron, my hero, and 88 for the year I was born in. When I played Hockey, I wore 88, but wore 3 when I played goalie for a year. I always wore 34 on the basketball team, but was able to wear 3 this year. I have a customized Bears jersey #29 (born 9-29-1988) and my White Sox customized is #6, 3 is retired for Harold Baines.

Eye Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 When I started playing hockey around '95-'96 I chose #67. Right after my favorite all time player Mario Lemieux and right before Jaromir Jagr. I then wore #93 a few years late. I then went on to #31, then the stupid team I was on forced me to switch to #8. If I get to choose my number again, I'll definitely pick 67. It's my favorite number. I don't remember what number I was in baseball though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 As of right now the only sport I am participating in is ball hockey. I wear number 3, not by choice though. I wanted number 9. The jerseys only go from 1-about 15 and 9 is my favourite of those available but someone else got it.It's not a sport, but I am captain of my school's Intermediate Reach For The Top team (it's kind of like jeopardy, we play other schools etc.) A senior thought we should have jerseys so I'm number 21.I used to be 91 because it was a number exactly in-between the numbers of my two favourite hockey players, Gilmour and Mogilny (93, 89) it's also the reciprocal (if you can call it that) of my 3rd favourite player, Yzerman (19), and finally because 91 was the year I was born.I like pretty much all numbers that end in 1 though, so changes may be ahead. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If I had played a competitive sport I would have picked #21, since I was born on March 21st. I wore #14 for that same thinking, having been born on November 14th.

Sodboy13 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well, my number of choice is 13. But since someone else on the softball team wanted it and had seniority, I take the field wearing number 09.

B-Rich Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Somehow, in 8-yr. old pee-wee football (my first foray into organized sports), I wound up with jersey number 12. I kind of liked it, first because of the counting/numerical factor (1,2) and then even more when I found out that a lot of the big name quarterbacks at the time wore it (Griese, Staubach, Stabler, Bradshaw, etc.).I was able to keep that number through the years in other playground leagues, high school varsity soccer, intramural sports at college, and adult rec leagues in softball and basketball. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgump Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 football: always wanted to be number 9, in between Steve Young and Brad Otton (USC QB family friend, taught me to throw) But ended up 14 in high school. Then in basketball I always wanted to be 36 (3+6=9) but thats normally not a number so Ive settled for 35, 30 and 40. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.
