The Hall of Fame of Uniform Numbers

A hitting streak is part luck, and essentially meaningless. I would rank other single season accomplishments ahead of it. Williams' .406 the same year. Brett's .390. Maris' 61. Henderson's however many steals it was. And that's just baseball. Overall, I would rank Beamon's long jump first -- never has a record been broken by that much -- it was literally a quantum leap.

one quantum leap for Bob. At the National in Chicago last year we chatted for 30 minutes. The highlight of the show for me. I'll add Bob to the list at 254.

In 1920 Babe Ruth himself hit more home runs than any other team in both leagues except 1. That is also quite dominant.

Not surprised to see Adam Dunn last on that list, but really surprised that Gary Sheffield is #14.

While there's still time and while there's still room, we'll add a nomination at 70 for Tom Sestak, legendary AFL DT, member of the All-Time AFL Team.

Some additions, all but one from the NFL:
2 -- Charlie Gehringer
27 -- Ken Houston (Safety of Oilers and Redskins) (note that Fisk is now listed as 27 and 72, while he wore 72 for one more season than 27)
49 -- Bobby Mitchell
50 -- Mike Singletary
54 -- Randy White
63 -- Willie Lanier
70 -- Sam Huff
78 -- Bobby Bell
86 -- Buck Buchanan

Technically, Jim Otto was #00 (not 0)
