How athletes pick their jersey number.

Storytelling

On the weekend, one of my all-time favorite athletes and granddaughter, explained to me that she picked the number 6 on her softball jersey on the basis that she is 6 years old. Always a great story or a nervous superstition on how athletes pick their numbers. Here are a couple of Jersey Mints I chased on the Panini NFT Platform. Perfect mints and jersey mints command a pricing premium.

1. Most keepers wear the number 1, but the legendary Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has no worries about wearing the unlucky number 13, as the day of his birthday is the 13th.

2. Bruno Guimaraes of Brazil and Newcastle wears the number 39. That number is in honor of his dad who drove a #39 taxi as he worked lots of overtime to help Bruno pursue his soccer career. What is your story on the number you wore?
