I liked 24 in hoops because of Mashburn. Always wore 56 on O-line and 6 in baseball.

 

[bluthruandthru]

14 was always coveted in baseball.

 

[KingOfBBN]

I always wore #34 for multiple reasons

Thurman Thomas
Ray Allen (Jesus Shuttlesworth)
Charles Barkley
Scott Padgett (Fav UK player)

In basketball leagues I go for this one the majority of the time.

I liked 24 in hoops because of Mashburn. Always wore 56 on O-line and 6 in baseball.

I always liked single digit numbers in baseball too. I too was attached to different numbers for different sports.

I always wondered if I played hockey what number would I have went for.

I always wore 2. I was always one of the smaller ones on a team and the jerseys generally got larger by the number, so always grabbed 2. It stuck until high school when I switched to 22 because our starting shortstop (ended up playing at Indiana) had #2.

#2 or #3 in basketball. I was a big man so I rarely got my choice. Usually ended up 50-55 lol.

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

#4

 

[rockhound24_rivals]

#3

 

[MrKentucky]

Always wore #2 because as a kid I grew up loving Tim Couch.

Did wear 30 in baseball the first year Junior was a Red.

 

[K-GAR]

Football: #3 for no particular reason
Basketball: #12 cause I loved Feldhaus
Baseball: #21 cause the guy I backed up as a freshman was graduating and I wanted to be the better 21

College: #24 for Griffey Jr

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

I always wore 3 in basketball because I was a guard and, like many white boys, was a huge Rex fan growing up.

In baseball I was a big Eric Davis fan and wanted 44.

 

[vhcat70]

55 - because I was a pp athlete & didn't want anyone comparing me to anyone.

 

[I need this]

53 - Bill Romanowski

 

[Get Buckets]

#3 - King Rex and Babe Ruth

 

[UK_Is_Good]

11-Larkin

 

[Pope John Wall II]

3 without fail. Allen Iverson and Milan's Maldini were great inspirations.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

#9. Graig Nettles

 

[Deeeefense]

Dang you guys must have all been superstars, I was just grateful if I could make the team, I'd take any number they wanted to hand out to me

I've always thought the most iconic number in football was 32 - the great Jim Brown's number, also worn by Edgerrin James, Franco Harris, Jack Tatum, Ricky Watters, Cedric Benson, Jamal Anderson, Marcus Allen, & OJ Simpson

Cedric Benson does not deserve to be in that sentence... Carry on.

 

[UK_Is_Good]

Cedric Benson does not deserve to be in that sentence... Carry on.

I'm sure he meant Ki-Jana Carter.

 

[musrat59]

It never bothered me what number I was given but if I had a preference, it would be #44 because of Issel.
