Wayne Gretzky wanted to wear No. 9 to honor Gordie Howe, but because someone else was wearing that on the team at the time, he added another 9, choosing 99, now the most iconic uniform number in NHL history. Michael Jordan always wanted to wear No. 45, but his brother chose that number when they were on the same team. Michael decided to cut that in half and chose 23 (you couldn’t choose 22½). Little did he know that would become the number of arguably the greatest sports athlete in history. Mariano Rivera wore No. 42 to honor Jackie Robinson, and he just so happened to be the last player to ever wear it before Major League Baseball retired it forever. Babe Ruth always batted third, so he wore No. 3. It was no coincidence that when Lou Gehrig came along and hit right after him, he chose No. 4. But the story behind Freddie Freeman’s No. 5 has a much more poignant twist to it. He wore No. 18 growing up, which actually has a similar connection. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
