# 7 FB as a mlb that was only because the #1 jersey didn't exist and 7 was the lowest available
#1 Lacrosse this one stayed with me through college

Until that post the realization of the 2 numbers together never bong hit me.

Sadly, I had to google it to understand the 4/20 connection… Just another sign that I'm an old man with no hip-ness...
 
# 1 for golf. Oh, wait ... That's were our team placed in the BYC golf tournament.
 
I am a name and not a number. That's because I can't remember my HS soccer number. Probably was 6.

Game worn jersey in which the wearer pitched a no-hitter against Cpl. Coyle (Waterbury) American Legion summer of 1972. Still fits.

37 for football - Wanted 32 or 7 when we had a chance to order jerseys sophomore year, but upperclassmen had already claimed them. Decided to go with 37 just because I liked the way it looked. Has been my number ever since 37. Only number retired by both NY baseball teams - for a guy who didn't play for either of those teams, but played for the two NY teams that migrated to the west cost.

22 in hoop - Wore 7 or 12 until high school. Got 22 sophomore year & stuck with it. We used school issued jerseys without names. Not much choice.

For anyone who played organized basketball at any point in their lives, what jersey number did you have? I was #4 in junior high school and #20 in high school. I wasn't quite talented enough to play at the college level.

I was a swimmer but we once came to a practice jokingly with numbers taped to our backs. I was #7 for the Mick!
 
13, Because everything is earned through hard work not through lucky numbers.
 
I was 31 in high school.. mainly because it was the only jersey that fit me. Not that I was particularly huge... mainly because I think the uniforms, much like the seats at Fenway, were manufactured sometime in the 1920s when people were smaller...

Also: 00 and 13 when I got to choose.
 
Baseball-mostly #8 (for Gary Carter)
Hockey-#16
Football-I kid not here.....
73, 42, 74, 13, 53
Minor League Football-#52
