In Kindergarten and first grade, we had lines for lunch and we were each assigned a number. Kindergarten I was #3, first grade I was #6. It's the stupidest reason, but the number just kinda stuck in my head after that. Jered Weaver's pretty cool also, I guess.

I wore 16 playing baseball (third base) and 31 playing football (cornerback/safety).

I didn't specifically pick those numbers. The equipment handed me a uniform and asked me if I had any preference for other numbers.

Some guys were very specific about their numbers, either because their favorite player wore them or they had some kind of meaning like their birthday or they were "lucky". Most of us liked wearing a uniform more than we cared about the specific numbers on it.
>>
I wore 26 as both a DB (HS) and 3B (HS, College).

I was assigned the number in pee-wee football and it stuck. No one ever picks 26, so I never had other people try to snatch it up like everyone did with 23 because muh Jordan

#10

It was the number I was assigned in my first spelling bee in 3rd grade, where I placed alternate against all these older kids, so I considered it my lucky number. Found out shortly after that it was my dad's number. I played basketball and was a receiver in football, so it all worked out.

Was given #44 in high school basketball though because I was one of the tallest on the team (5'11", haven't grown since, fuck).

75 in football (OL/DL)
Played basketball in 6th grade, I can't remember number for sure might have been 20

16. Hard to explain but was always a "lucky number" for me.

I wore #14 when playing football in high school as a winger/striker. It was one of the few that were left (I was a benchwarmer at first) and Henry was GOAT back then so I chose that one.

If I played now I'd go with #69 just because someone is bound to get butthurt at the juvenile reference

I know this might sound weird, but I wore different #s in each sport in honor of a NASCAR legend I respected.

In baseball I wore 43 for Richard Petty
in football I wore 51 for Neil Bonnett (who had recently passed away when I was old enough to start playing)
in basketball I wore 21 for David Pearson

I never wore 3 because Dale was still alive for most of my pee wee days....and I hated him. After he died I just continued to wear the 43 51 and 21

Would have chosen either 9 or 16 if I played QB. Would have chosen either 17 or 83 if I played WR. Would have chosen 45 or 86 if I played TE. And would have chosen 35 if S.

9 because it looks good and Jim McMahon.
16 because it was my favorite number when younger. Lincoln is also best president.
17 because Austin Collie.
83 because I just like the look.
45 because fuck it why not.
86 because I think it would look good.
35 because it looks great on S.
