Bleed Cubbie Blue had something like this the other day, and I thought it was a great idea, but it's only now that I have the info. . . .

It's kinda funny to see Mike Rodriguez listed as wearing number one; that's Willy's number, man! And it's too bad Coop is wearing Hidalgo's old number, coz it would have been a nice touch to see Doggie wearing 15 again.
Oh, and I guess Eric Bruntlett didn't want his old number 10 back.
The only numbers below 80 that are unused are # 12 and # 69--and # 22. Wonder what the story on 12 and 69 is?
