What # did you wear & where is your old jersey now?

BIGSHOTMAXXX · Jan 23, 2006

The furthest I ever got in sports was playing Junior hockey for a well know team in S. New Jersey. We actually did very well and won our division and Conference in my last year...We actually got invited to Quebec to participate in a prestigice tourney in Trois Rivier (sp is terrible) and that was cool and actually one my fondest memories an athlete...so much in fact that i preserved the memory by retiring my # 33 jersey in frame and glass and it hangs on my wall in my "sports" room with various collectables and pool table.

I visited a friends house yesterday for the games and he had done the same thing with his college football jersey....anyway, just wondering if anyone else had any particular # they wore, and if you have "retired" your own jersey, weather pro, college, high school, or even your local softball team....lol. Really hope there aren't any retired bowling jerseys though....

i wear #15

went to a LA Kings game when i was a teenager and begged for a player to flip me a puck - like all kids did

Darryl Evans (who scored the GWG in "The Miracle on Manchester" and is now the Kings radio color commentator) flipped me one

he wore #15 and ever since then i have worn #15 as my way of saying "thank you" to him for doing this

#24- Griffey glory years. I actually have my hs football jersey hanging up in my room. (moving out here in 5 months though and it won't make it up at the new house)

Wore #86 in high school football--an old girlfriend probably still has those jerseys. (No special reason--I was one of the only freshman to make the varsity that year--very small school--so it was the last number available for eligible receivers. I thought about changing it several times, but I liked the identity of the same number.)

In hockey and lacrosse, alternated between #10 and #22, depending on what was available. I still have both a #10 and #22 hockey jersey SOMEWHERE, though I doubt I could find without reasonable difficulty.

My high school number was 6. My jersey was retired by my old high school and it still sits behind glass in the trophy room by the gym at Winter Park High School in central Florida. I was recognized for my acheivements in track and cross-country.

My high school jersey number was #55. All of those burned up in house fire. Wished i had ALL of that stuff back !

I played semi-pro baseball. We toured the midwest playing in high stakes money tournaments. My number was 6 after my favorite baseball player of all time Sal Bando. It is now retired in the town bar in a small town in Nebraska.

# 8 as a right winger in minor hockey, then #38 in pee-wee and on to junior hockey... turned out to be a goaltender. Last year of junior hockey was an accomplishment as I allowed 2 goals in 8 games in the playoffs and my partner got shell shocked and was hammered for 28 of our 30 goals allowed for the entire playoffs.

#38 must still be floating around the rink, but it is not hanging from the raffters

#8 playing college baseball. Was a big Gary Carter fan.

#14 for all sports that I played through out my school years. All have either been given away or missplaced over time. Now that I'm older wish I would have held on to one or two.

My high school football jersey... #67...yeah, I was not a quarterback! It is around here somewhere in a drawer. I should get it out and take better care...... Good times, those... tulsa

#55, me and Skinsraj only 2 sophmores to make varsity that year, and 1 freshman- School kept the jersey, got my shooting shirt though with my last name on it. Best 6'2 center you'll ever see haha, probably the only one, although definitely held more than my own vs. a couple of 6'9-6'10 centers in our league, some that are still in D1 right now at Stanford and such.
#10 in baseball

I miss playing that often

Later....................Rugby

great stories guys...any more?

I still have my soccer cleats (with mud still in the cleats from 1989, my last college game) hanging on a shelf...also have a surfboard (unrelated but sort of funny) with sand from 1992 still stuck to it, I had a very short lived surfing career.

I wore number 5 in baseball, and wore 22 in soccer, no jersey's on the wall though....

Speaking of bowling jersey's (shirts) I had one back when I was like 12-14, with all those goofy patches sewed on to it, how goofy is that, thinking back?

What # did you wear & where is your old jersey now?
