The north side of Chicago also had a special #14.Little Danny wrote: but #14 for any other team really does not have the same meaning.

Agreed. I'm more interested in the numbers that make a universal "statement." 23 just seems to be, hands down, the most obvious answer.

For instance, #14 to the Cincinnati Reds equates to Pete Rose and Pete Rose only, but #14 for any other team really does not have the same meaning.
I agree about 23. But to me 99 is on the same level. I am not by any means a hockey fan but I never had any doubt who 99 was.ernest_t_bass wrote:Agreed.

It was retired league wide. No one else in the NHL wears 66 either.Darkon wrote:I agree about 23. But to me 99 is on the same level.

You know what, when I thought of this thread, I thought this same thing, just forgot to add it. The person who wears 69 isn't always a jokester, but in the HS ranks, it usually is. Reminds me of Billy Madison: "69! A-hahahahaha."SQ_Crazies wrote: 69.
Whatever number the player making the statement is wearing really.
