He spilt bleach on #4 and ruined it so he had to get another uniform..

World B. Free's numbers were 21 for the Cavs and Sixers and 24 for the Clippers, but I can't find his jersey number for the Warriors. Sorry.

HE just started wearing it this year.He's wearing it because it is his sons uniform number.

Agreed with the general sentiments about it.  There's too many teams moving to "red'ish" uniforms.  The look like a combo between the Nationals & Astros.  I thought their purple and greenish/aqua color scheame was very fresh and unique.  \n\nIf there is anything positive to say about it, I think their aways are okay; not great, but okay.  Here's a thought for an original look in red.  Why don't any of these teams wear the red pin stripes with the grey aways.  I think that would look pretty unique, and fresh.  ...the D-Backs should have done that.

Well three guys according to baseball-almanac.com played 3rd base for the Pirate that year.  Jose Pagan is one, Andre Rodgers is two and three is Maury Willis.  Maury Willis was probably your starting 3rd basemen.  In 1967 his batting average was .302 and he played 144 games that year as 3rd base.  I hope this helps.  Check out the baseball-almanac.com link for your future questions.  Take care and good luck.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! Will it change? Maybe not. Over the past few years, what the gold glove really stands for has changed. Sure, its awarded for great defensive plays and prowess. However, when you look at it, everybody who has won it (for the most part, Orlando Hudson being an exception) has put up pretty good offensive stats. Its like if that is what seperates a guy like A-Rod from Crede.\n\nSome guys who win the gold glove surely deserve it, but Crede may just be on a short stick. One, because he isnt exactly a household name of any kind, so not much attention to paid to him. Two, he plays third base, where there are a lot of talented players there as well.

It's happened twice: Harry Chiti was traded by the Mets to the Indians for a PTBNL in 1962, then became that player several months later.\n\nThe second time was in 1987, when Dickie Noles was traded by the Cubs to the Tigers, then the deal was reversed a month later.

It wasn't against the rules in baseball until just recently. Even if he did and has stopped when the rules took affect, there is nothing Selig can do. Legally it might be different.

It's because over the years there have been many, I mean, many player managers, especially in the early days and they would wear the uniform because they would also play the game. This tradition just kind of stuck. A few managers over the years have worn suits, especially Connie Mack, but that was pretty much the minority.

He hasn't signed a long-term deal with the Phils, so that makes him like most rookies.  Since he only has one year of major league experience, he'll be an automatic resign for next season.  After three years, he'll be eligible for salary arbitration, but he's the Phillies' property until after six years of major league service time.\n\nMy guess is that they work on a long-term deal either next year or in the third year of his contract.  That way, they lock up a key piece for their future and avoid arbitration, which can be a sore point for both sides.

I think that he'll do it for a season or two then go back to eight\ni think the only reason he's doing it is so he can sell even more jerseys (Reebok must be in love with him)\n\nor you could take Michael Wilbon's idea (from PTI):\nhe did it to multiply 8 * 3 and then in a few years he'll change it to 34 so he can have the same number as Shaq so they'll retire his jersey instead of Shaq's

Long before the present squad number of players were printed on shirts, players simply wore the numbers 1 to 11 on their shirts. Only one sub was allowed and he wore the number 12 shirt. In those days, the number represented the position the player played in - for example.... 1 Goalkeeper, 2 right full back, 3 left full back. 4 Right half, 5 Centre Half, 6 left half, 7 Right wing, 8 Inside right, 9 Centre forward, 10 Inside left, 11 left wing.  I'm pretty sure Charlie George wore the No 8 shirt.

The Redskins and Cowboys are just following long-time tradition. I'm old enough to remember when most high school and some college football teams wore white at home. The NHL did that to sell jerseys. I'm thinking there will be even more "third" jerseys - like the Hurricanes adding a black one - and a return to the occasional "reverse jersey" night. Then the absolute diehard fans need to spend $500 to be able to match the team.

first off, it's RING, not KING...... and dude, what are you smokin' fool? wait 2years? u kidding? that's a stupid deal from the Padres's side....Liriano is a STARTING pitcher, keep that in mind...both Ring & Bell are RELIEVERS...relievers are JOURNEYMEN...they don't stay with teams for very long and don't have much value unless they're CLOSERS.  plus, Ring can't keep his weight off... Ben Johnson will be a star for years to come, the two jokers Padres got will be out of the organization in 2 years...JOURNEYMEN   -look it up

I think you mean shortstop, not third base. Ripken replaced Bob Bonner, and was in turn replaced by Ryan Minor.
