What athlete do you associate with each number?

True, that was brutal.

 

66 - Lemieux
68 - Jagr
77 - Esposito (I know he didn't wear it his whole career.)

 

When I was a kid and at a place with my mom where I didn't want to (say, the grocery store), I would pass the time by thinking of at least two players with a number, going from 1 to as high as I could. Just quickly off the top of my head (and this is off the top of my head, making it a very personal list):

1. Moon
2. Jetes
3. Ruth
4. Orr
5. Nomaahhhh
6. Bubby Brister (absolutely no idea why)
7. Elway
8. Bo Jackson (with the White Sox)
9. Williams

Others:
12. Brady
13. Marino
18. Manning
19. Yzerman
20. Barry Sanders
21. Deion Sanders
22. Emmitt Smith
23. Jordan
32. Magic
33. Bird
34. Bo Jackson (Raiders)
40. Shawn Kemp
56. Lawrence Taylor
99. Gretzky

 

For me:

5 is George Brett
42 Jackie Robinson
16 Joe Montana
58 Derrick Thomas
00 Greg Ostertag

 

50 Ralph Sampson

 

I think number 2 should be Najeh Davenport.

 

34 is not Bo Jackson. It's Sweetness.

 

No!
No!
A thousand times no!
20,000 times no!

 

3- Earnhardt
24- Gordon
44 - Riggins

 

Dameshek covered this years ago.

 

Sigh. My goodness.

 

Hmm, I just misread the thread title as "murder" instead of "number".
