This is a list of the BEST players to wear each number OR the most popular player to do so.
(although I selected best first)
This was an extremely difficult list to compile. Too many really good players wore the same number (23, 30, 34).
How do I pick between Willy Mays & Ken Griffey Jr for #24? Well I did!
Some players may not have been best known in those numbers.
But I chose to put them there to make room for another player.
(ie #72 Carlton Fisk for #27 Juan Marichal)
Once I got into the 60's it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to find baseball players with those numbers.
If you know of any, feel free to add them.
This is my list! Whats yours?
