What jersey # do you wear & why? - 02-06-2006, 01:28 PM

Like the title says, what jersey # do you wear and why?

#31- This was my number as an ice hockey goalie. It was between 29 and 33 (my two favorite goalies as a kid -Felix Potvin and Patrick Roy). It's also the opposite of unlucky 13. Oddly enough 13 is my wife's favorite number... but as a goalie I was very supersticious. 3 for Dale Earnhardt as he's another one of my hero's and I always want to be #1.

Well, actually, 13 is my lucky number, not my favorite, but close enough I used to live at the address 13, so our family called it lucky!

My jersey is 5, which is acutally my favorite #. I also like 21, my b-day number, 11, and of course 31, cause it's my hubby's number!

#11 why? Because 1+1=2 which is Derek Jeter's #.
No really it's because 11:11 is a portal into a new world where we will all live together forever. "An noot ah rah hoo!" Confused?? Me too but it's just a funny story about crazy high school stuff. Although if you can't find me on November 11th you'll know why. Only 5 years till 2011! hhahahaha

Used to have 23, the kid who graduated in my high school and taught me how to set had that number. Then the girls team lost it... And I took number seven. I've been number 1, 3, 7, 23, 13, 2 and about a billion others since. Currently I'm number 7 - because... Well, it was a shirt that fit - no one else complained, and everyone else was bitching about thier numbers. So well - the president needs to make everyone happy - so thats me now...Never thought to much about the numbers

I started off wearing #11 junior year, then #2 senior year. I got 11 from adding up the numbers that my idols, Jackie Robinson (42) and Barry Sanders 20 in pros, 21 in college), wore during their careers. I got 2 from adding the two 1's together. Call me crazy, but my usual number, 20, was taken by my teammate.
