	What about number 8? (MLB)

	Phil_Rose:	Sep 6th, 2008 at 03:55 GMT	4 points
	#4 (NFL) seems like another good choice.

	jaspa:	Sep 10th, 2008 at 09:58 GMT	-1 points
	# 6 (MLB) and no, its not a yankee.

	Jonathan:	Sep 25th, 2008 at 20:08 GMT	6 points
	This is one of my least favorite of the sports quizzes. First of all, why no 13 for marino, etc. And there are so many people that can qualify as these numbers! 25 could have been bonds, Sosa, OR mcgwire, and a few others.

	asal313:	Oct 1st, 2008 at 03:12 GMT	1 point
	can sporcle make a game based on the same source with all 100 numbers? 0-100.

	drhaase:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 19:03 GMT	2 points
	Sosa wore #21. this quiz would be cool if you had every number and an athlete for every number.

	NINJ4:	Oct 26th, 2008 at 03:31 GMT	1 point
	I dont like how the number 10 in soccer is only pele. Every soccer team has a number 10 and Brazil haven't retired the #10 jersey so I dont think this is a valid entry to the quiz. Same with the horseracing one.

	XUCC:	Oct 26th, 2008 at 22:51 GMT	3 points
	why did some numbers include more than one person and others didn't. four people for 88, and only dimaggio for 5, or magic for 32?

	ElDavo:	Oct 31st, 2008 at 00:53 GMT	10 points
	I hate to say it, but this quiz sucks. It was a good idea but the way it was formatted, just numbers and sports, wasn't executed very well.

	Justin:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 05:51 GMT	2 points
	7= Mantle? 4= Favre? 2= Jeter? 42= Rivera (the last player to ever wear 42) I agree with Avi. Would be awesome to have a list 1-100 of athletes.

	JoshT:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 20:28 GMT	3 points
	Maybe a separate quiz for each sport. Also you could possibly use a picture of the back of the jersey for an extra hint. #4 in pinstripes is Gehrig, but #4 on a green football jersey is Favre and son on. #6 MLB is Stan Musial.

	In all honesty, there is no excuse for sporcle not to have deleted this quiz. It's an embarrassment to the site. How is Secretariat's # even 2? Because he wore the "2" saddlecloth in the Belmont? This quiz is easily the worst sports quiz on sporcle. As I said, there is no excuse, other than stubbornness, as to why this has not been removed.

	Coz:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 02:44 GMT	3 points
	I keep forgetting Nolan Ryan's number. And yea, a horse racer's number is very insignificant.

	drencrom68:	Jan 25th, 2009 at 07:52 GMT	7 points
	How can you have #12 for NFL and not have Joe Namath as an option?

	davebesag:	Jan 25th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT	3 points
	I'm afraid whoever has done this quiz knows nothing about soccer or horseracing. There's a number of other great players to wear number 10 (it's only in recent years and due to merchandising that starting players have worn numbers apart from 1-11). I also agree about Secretariat as potentially he only wore that number in that one race and NO racehorse have ever been known by the number they carried. The numbers relate to where they are in the racecard and aren't carried over from race to race.

	smillerakalilnoz:	Jan 27th, 2009 at 06:51 GMT	-4 points
	Very surprise Beckham isn't on here. Thats who I put for soccer. I also put Seabiscuit for the Horseracer. LOL.

	danzam:	Feb 4th, 2009 at 18:22 GMT	2 points
	should add Jim Kelly and Joe Namath to the #12 and Ben Roethlisberger to the #7

	chuckart:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 07:24 GMT	2 points
	how can George Brett not work for #5?

	BelowZero:	Feb 20th, 2009 at 21:48 GMT	4 points
	this quiz is terrible. So many obvious ones left out. Favre 4, Ripken 8, Emmitt 32, etc, etc.

	Ted Drew-Smith:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 18:24 GMT	4 points
	Nolan Ryan was number 34 for most of his career

	Pete Dougherty:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 06:28 GMT	1 point
	"Mean Joe" Greene had an "e" at the end of his name. I kept typing "Greene" and wasn't getting credit.

	JohnJF:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 06:44 GMT	-3 points
	You guys need to quit shooting the messenger here. Blame the list-maker if you want, but this is an okay concept of a list. By thinking how ESPN thinks I got all but #30.

	Ace:	Apr 14th, 2009 at 04:49 GMT	4 points
	Bad list. Nolan Ryan was 'more' famous as #34. Where's Bird?

	moliphino:	Apr 16th, 2009 at 03:54 GMT	3 points
	Dimaggio, but not Ted Williams? Come on.

	geowiz85:	Apr 16th, 2009 at 09:44 GMT	6 points
	@ belowzero, emmitt was 22. worst quiz on sporcle so far. i typed about 5 names for half of these numbers that were all legit. its totally subjective as is, need to put some criteria like best jersey sales for each number to differentiate

	whoopdifreakindo:	Apr 18th, 2009 at 00:12 GMT	3 points
	Nolan Ryan was 34.

	rpgjr:	Apr 23rd, 2009 at 04:23 GMT	3 points
	As long as we're complaining about who was left out... No #24 for Willie Mays? Come on!

	Nimish Todi:	Apr 25th, 2009 at 19:47 GMT	2 points
	you are leaving legendary, best of all time players out and you put mean joe green

	demps:	May 12th, 2009 at 17:37 GMT	2 points
	what no #4 bobby orr sorry favre, he wins no dale earnhardt #3 #9 teddy ball game/mr hockey. #8 yaz. #6 russell #33 Bird/Kareem/roy.

	poppysmom:	May 22nd, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	2 points
	JIm Kelly is a Hall of Fame quarterback...Tom Brady? Not yet, though well on the way. James Lofton...HOF #80. Thurman Thomas? HOF #34. Bernie Williams...#51...Mariano Rivera also wears 42, though Jackie Robinson is a choice all MLB fans would know. It should be updated to include many other acceptable "stars" especially Hall of Fame caliber.

	poppysmom:	May 23rd, 2009 at 03:10 GMT	0 points
	Perhaps it would be good to edit out the specific sport. For example: #32 worn by Magic, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal, OJ Simpson (prior to becoming a criminal), Jim Brown, Marcus Allen, etc.

	alleycat9:	Jun 27th, 2009 at 05:59 GMT	2 points
	joe namath and mickey mantle

	Patrick:	Jun 30th, 2009 at 22:47 GMT	2 points
	Two thumbs way down for this quiz. Very creative idea. Very poor execution. Can sporcle please take this down so that somebody willing to put the time in actually does the category justice?

	bostnboy3:	Jul 1st, 2009 at 17:59 GMT	3 points
	joe greene and deacon jones combined don't qualify to be on this list...especially when you leave out guys like Bird and Ted Williams

	NobleDB:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT	-2 points
	What is the most sacred number in all of football? 4!!!

	yeehaw:	Jul 16th, 2009 at 22:05 GMT	1 point
	bad quiz. there are too many 25s in baseball to count...

	MikeyKid3:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 11:53 GMT	1 point
	Nolan Ryan was #34... This quiz is wrong.

	thefooman:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	2 points
	wow, lots of hate on this one - this is Sport's Illustrated list, Sporcle just made a quiz out of it - take it up with SI.
