Number Me

What number would a person of non-baseball fame wear if he had been a Met. Answer and ask and cede the mic.

I'll open: Iggy Pop.

SteveJRogers

69

Frank Sinatra

Gwreck
Mar 01 2008 10:55 PM

The obvious answer would be "1."

But Frank is much more a "7."

Greg's not only the consummate high school senior, he's also the the-not-as-good-as-he-thinks-he-is quarterback just playing baseball to make the spring pass faster.

His head is also big enough that he wouldn't think twice about taking Keith Hernandez's number.

Ricardo Montalban.

51 in honor of the 51st state, Fantasy Island.

sting is perfectly happy to harmonize as a member of a team (band/ trio) and wouldn't fight to be a #1.

Abe Lincoln

Mar 02 2008 02:05 PM

He was 69 when inaugurated, the oldest ever, but we used it already and its no fun to just stick a sex joke on everyone and assign them 69, so lets go with 38 for outspoken Republican pitcher Curt Schilling.

Howard Stern?

If you could just manage to lay off the stupid partisan bullshit that would be just great. Thanks for your assistance in this regard.


Michael Moore is a 50. Maybe because of the physical resemblance to El Sid and Benny. :)

Clinton? He seems like a solid number 15. Smooth, like Beltran running after a flyball.

I could give a shit about your answer. Respect the forum, take the partisan crap elsewhere.

Howard Stern is a 44. Loudmouth, just like Reggie. Lots of homers but lots of strikeouts too.

29. He kind of looks like Dave Magadan, and has that same sort of competence.


Mick Jagger.

Mick's a slap-hitting shortstop. 2.

Joe Pesci.

Willets Point

Joe Pesci is 8 because an 8 tilted on its side looks like a fish, and Pesci means fish.

Lisa Simpson is number "8"-- the same age that she will be forever.

Randy Jackson

Hung has to be ten. Has to be.

Randy, like Michael, gets 5.

Snoop Dogg?

AG/DC
Mar 02 2008 07:44 PM

Snoop is lanky and has good power when he gets his arms extended. He's 21.

Alex Keaton.

Bruce Springsteen

Springsteen may be the boss on stage, but his frame story in the Glory Days video suggests he identifies with laboring relievers. He's chesty like Neil Allen.

Mary Ann.

I think Mary Ann would wear 36, as well as a captain's "C" on her jersey.

Ted Knight.

12. (Wasn't that the Channel that WJR broadcast on?)

Jack Bauer. (This is an easy one.)

TheOldMole

Too easy, and Jack's no Willie Mays.

But I'll say it.

24.

Albert Camus.

We'll ask Johan to share 57, as it's the year Camus won the Nobel Prize for literature.

Bob "Gilligan" Denver

3 for the number of hours the cruise should have been.


Mussolini.

Benjamin Grimm
Mar 07 2008 02:15 PM

Mussolini is Il Duce, which doesn't mean 2 but it sounds like it does.

He was also Hitler's second fiddle, so give him a 2.



We did Bob Denver, how about John Denver?

AG/DC
Mar 07 2008 02:19 PM

See, I don't like going for numbers that symbolize our impression of the guys, but rather what kind of player you'd think they'd be. Ted Knight mightd be a six, because he'd be an old-school corner infielder with Mike Marshall-like puncher's power.

TheOldMole
Mar 08 2008 02:01 PM

I do kinda like the numbers that symbolize our impression, but I think this would maybe fit both criteria -- or maybe not. I'd give John Denver number 33, for all time Rocky Mountain High-assisted home run leader Larry Walker.


Crazy Eddie.

themetfairy
Mar 08 2008 02:19 PM

34017, simply because that number is INSANE!

Queen Elizabeth?

Frayed Knot
Mar 08 2008 04:21 PM

QE = 2 (or, maybe, II)

Walter Cronkite?

TheOldMole
Mar 08 2008 11:08 PM

A wise, fatherly sort you'd want managing your team. I'll give him 14.

Jeez, four 4s on a team? Crazy, man.

George gets a 19. It's a good skinny guy's number. I see him as a sidearming swing man.

sharpie
Mar 10 2008 12:45 PM

Paul was already given 64 earlier, so we'll keep that one.

John is #9.

George gets a solid outfielder type number, let's say 21.

Ringo gets a goofy 00.


Bob Dylan

Willets Point
Mar 10 2008 01:55 PM

#12 and 35, man.

John Cleese.

Benjamin Grimm
Mar 10 2008 02:09 PM

He seems like a starting pitcher to me. And his number should certainly be odd.

How about 43?

seawolf17

#20. You figure 29, since he's the 29th president, but he likes 20 because he was elected in 1920.

Eliot Spitzer.

Benjamin Grimm
Mar 10 2008 02:41 PM

Danny Partridge!

Danny Partridge still stands (because I don't know who he is).
