I agree.

I can't hear the calls for Ted Williams and Unitas from the sound of Championship rings clanging.

[nolemmings]

Randall McDaniel #64. 202 consecutive starts, 12 consecutive Pro Bowls--the greatest O-lineman I've ever seen.

32- Bill Walton

and 00 for Jeffrey 'Ole Penitentiary Face' Leonard.

81 Art Monk
82 Ray Berry
83 Andre Reed
I can't remember if Randy Moss was 81 or 84, maybe both

38 Steve Carlton
46 Andy Pettite

[Peter_Spaeth]

I think Goose Gossage was 54. And Guidry was 49. And of course should add Reggie at 44.

Howe vs. Williams is an interesting debate. Unitas and Yzerman not as much. BTW, Johnny U won three rings.

[Peter_Spaeth]

13 AROD
21 Clemens also 22 his Yankees number

[Peter_Spaeth]

1 Ozzie Smith. Also, I think, Lou Whitaker.

[nolemmings]

Yogi deserves as much consideration as Yaz and Stargell at #8. Kobe Bryant should probably be included with that number also.

[Peter_Spaeth]

8 Berra, Ripken, Joe Morgan.

[Peter_Spaeth]

11 Barry Larkin
12 Alomar, also Boggs as a Yankee
15 Munson
30 Ryan on Mets, maybe Angels too
33 Eddie Murray

[nolemmings]

Boggs as a Yankee

I cringe every time I hear those words.

Hah. It was fine with me when he left town, never liked him. As I used to say, most overrated .350 hitter in history.

Spot on about him being overrated, but I think you misunderstand me. I hate the Red Sox and love the Yankees. Getting that guy just wasn't right, and diminished the Yankee brand IMO. Some might say the same for Clemens, but at least he had been booted to Toronto first.

[39special]

John Smoltz was #57 in '88

[Peter_Spaeth]

At the risk of being booted, some more random ones from memory.
5 Brooks Robinson, Pujols and Bench
44 McCovey
24 Rickey, Griffey, Manny Ramirez
29 Carew

[tedzan]

12...... Joe Namath

13...... Don Maynard

Howe vs Ted is interesting, as far as hearing over any clinking, someone once said " Ted Williams lived the life that John Wayne dreamed about". Overall, I think the no doubts are #`s 3, 7, 13, 23, 42, 99, with 9 and 4 being the biggest tossups off the top of my head. Also, 33 between Bird and Alcindor also very close. Fun thread !!
