Best By Number: Who Wore What With Distinction

From: $13.65

Go ahead, ask sports fans the numbers of their favorite players, and theyll rattle them off in a heartbeat. Derek Jeter? 2. Shaqille ONeal? 32. Peyton Manning? 18. Dale Earnhardt Jr.? 8. That one youve seen on the back windows of so many pickup trucks you dont even need to be a fan to know. Numbers have been a part of sports lore since they first appeared on uniforms back in the Roaring 20s. But whos the best‹the very best‹player ever to wear 32. Or whos the best 44: Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron or Jerry West? Or maybe Pete Maravich? Sporting News, which has 120 years of covering sports as a foundation, makes those decisions in the highly-entertaining book Best by Number. The colorfully illustrated book takes you behind the scenes with amazing anecdotes of why players chose‹or were assigned‹their famous numbers, but most important, Sporting News tells you authoritatively who was the best of the best, 0-99, including what are sure to be surprise selections that will be debated for years.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 10, 2007 Type: User Review Great gift!

I gave this book to two men in my family and both of them immediately began thumbing through it. They loved to read about those that were highlighted that they agreed with, and argue about who should not have made the book.
