Kid Gleason Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Follow this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...gory=24890&rd=1 It says "legendary number 21". Who wore the number 21? I have never been good in the number game, but looking back, Appling wasn't 21, nor was Aparicio. Was it Minoso, Pierce...Fox? I can't find anyplace that tells who wore what number through the years. I consider myself somewhat of a "student" of the game, but the numbers are lost on me, and my favorite period to read up on was before the numbers were used. Anybody? Hell man, went back and had another look, that is a Cubs jersey, ain't it? Sosa is 21, right? WTF. If this is so, how do I delete this thread?

The Critic Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Not laughing at you, Kid, laughing at the idea that anyone thinks ShamME's number is "legendary"...infamous, maybe, but legendary???? Yeah, that crap jersey looks like an attempt to trick Sox fans into buying Scammy s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 It says Cubs White Sox on the title of the auction. I dunno if it is supposed to be a real throwback or what. Minoso was #9 by the way. 21 isn't a retired Sox number and I can't recall who it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Phew! So I am not the only one cornfused by this thing!!! I was afraid I was going to get stale peanuts thrown at me! Shocking to see a $150 tag on something that even hardened Sox fans would be confused by! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1549 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Bart Johnson? George Bell? Gary Redus? Gary Redus lmao, I know I would pay money for his jersey at least he stole a lot of bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think it doesn't mean a legendary player. I think they are just trying to put that tag on it to make more money. I have never been a huge fan of throwbacks either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoso - 9, Pierce 19, Fox 2 (although he wore 26 in 1952). 21's in Sox History through 1971: Gerry Staley 1956-1961, Ray Herbert through 1964, Jim O'Toole in 67, Dan Osinski in 69, Lee Maye in 70, Bart Johnson 1971. It was also worn by Cal Eldred, Joey Cora, and it was the first number Robin Ventura ever wore for the Sox. Now there was a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossarian Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 A Famous number 21..... That's who I immediately thought of. If you never had an opportunity to see him play you missed a rare treat. He is much too forgotten and far too underrated IMO. Strapped the team on his back and basically carried them in the 71WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy can't carry Robertos Jock Strap. Believe it or not there was a rumor once in his home town that Sosa was his Bastard Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not there was a rumor once in his home town that Sosa was his Bastard Child That is wild! In any case, no steroids for Roberto, just all heart and talent. What an arm! There were many outfielders in that era with great arms but Clementes was the best. Dwight Evans came close. He was still going strong when he died heroically. Yes Roberto was the real deal both as a man and a ballplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
