I used to be 1, but that was my coach's number. So I wore 11 and 44 in 7th grade (two different jerseys and not all the numbers matched up). 8th grade year I wore 19. Freshman year I wore 17 on freshman and 23 on varsity. Sophomore year I wore 23 on JV and 22 on varsity. Junior year we got new uniforms and I got 19. Senior year I took 19 away from some dumb freshman who thought he was taking my 19.

19 was Tom Pagnozzi. Also birthday is Feb 17 so 2+17=19. I couldn't wear that number in basketball and coach freshman year wouldn't let me have 14 (which was my dad's baseball number) so I took 43. Stuck with it ever since except junior year the varsity uniforms didn't have 43 so I had to go with 42. Senior year we got new uniforms and I returned to 43. Football I was given a choice of 55 and 57 and just happened to choose 57. Stuck with that number all the way through. 57 just so happens to be 3*19

Basketball rules state the numbers cannot be above 5 so the highest basketball number is 55. The NBA is an exception.

Only two numbers that I prefer to wear is 7 or 3 both have had many successful players wear them.

my son is crazy about the #8.He wears 8,18
or 88

I'll never forget the first year of minor league (seems like a very long time ago...)when the little kids got their team shirts. All of my son's friends from other teams crowded around asking what # he got. Well our team was the only one with missing numbers! (At the time I didn't realize HOW BIG a deal this was) Some boys started making fun of our team but this story has a great ending...the coach called the t-shirt company who agreed to redo the shirts and the kids got to PICK their numbers. They were the envy of all of the teams. I can't remember if he picked Jeter or B. Williams but it was a great moment when they showed off their shirts especially since the other teams all had 1-15 numbers...nothing special.

# 95- it's a little different and it's his birth year.

32 TO HONOR MY UNCLE THAT PASS AWAY HE WEAR NUMBER 32 IN COLLEGE.

My guy has always worn 22 and now the juicng scandal hits...
