Is it Donnie's 88? Beckett's 61? Hanley's corny ass 13? Do they even touch the worst number choice ever? Manny wearing 99? My vote is Mattingly wtf bro? 88? Seriously? What makes it worst is he had another number when the gave victorino 8 and he switched it to 88! Anyway just a thought.
88. It will remind me of 1988 being the last time we won the WS. Should have took Sellers's #12. Would've given some symbolic hope.
Donnie and Beckett do have pretty bad numbers. Lol. I would say Kenley's 74 is odd but that just fits him. I'd have to go with Beckett's 61. That just looks stupid.
idk, I'm down with 74. Relievers generally have high numbers. Beckett and Don are surely the worst. I don't know why #5, #3,#7,#10,#12 weren't given away to some of these additions. Kennedy deserves 3 over Hanley? Uribe deserves 5? Some good numbers taken by not so star power players.
Well, I don't really understand what makes a number bad or corny I guess. I'm a NASCAR fan and they use all sorts of weird numbers. At first they seem a little odd...but then if they perform well, it makes that number something special or good. Like Manny and #99, seemed silly or strange at first but then he kicked ass and I thought it was a cool statement. Forever now, when someone brings up #99, I'll know they mean Manny. Kind of made it his own you know...made his own legacy. If we win a few W.S. soon, I'll probably relate the #88 to DBB just like I do with the #2 and Tommy. I have to admit, #13 seems a bit cliche and it's really for cholos or bad luck.
