Overall Numbers
Football 1977 Through Baseball 2012

To complete the Summer 2012 project, I'll be offering an opinion on the best athlete to wear each uniform number over the last 35 school years.
This list will include players from the Public, Catholic and Inter-Ac leagues. Most will be the top choices from our lists for football/basketball/baseball. Some will be multisport athletes, provided the same number was worn and high honors were achieved.
Updates to the list -- five numbers at a time; picked randomly -- will be made pretty much every day. Thanks for your interest.
