By The Numbers
Periodically, I will be profiling a current or former player that wore each uniform number. There is no set criteria to use to decide which players to profile, so I suppose it will be left to my whim.
The idea came to me when I decided to buy a jersey for each of my sons corresponding to their age (ex. when Leyton turned one, he got a Lou Whitaker jersey, Sebastian got an Alan Trammell when he turned three).
I will try to find players that excelled during their time in the Olde English D, or at least players that were interesting. On this page you will find the list with links to their profiles.
