Sports and numbers go hand in hand.
Sports and loud, assertive debate? Even better.
Cheering on, agonizing over, and being in plain awe of your favorite players has left you with a deep and intricate memory of their greatness, not to mention well-honed arguments as to why your favorites are really the best. In arenas, in front of your TV, and in bars, youâve debated friends and strangers alike. Youâve joyfully mocked your friendsâ (sometimes laughable) favorites. Youâve spouted accomplishments, statistics: Yours won six titles, batted .350 in the clutch, or generated 82% of their teamâs scoring.
But not all numbers are created equal. Some are accomplishments. Others are identity.
Looming large over any image you have of an athlete: the number on their jersey. Numbers often provide the most visceral parts of any sports legendâs identity. They are what people rememberâworldwide. Jordan, Jeter, Bradyâto fans, they are as much their number as they are anything else.
Sure, 1 through 100 might seem like a large range, but fierce competition across the ages has blessed only a lucky few to claim one of these as their own. For some, the victors may not be so obvious. Thatâs why Greenyâs here to help.
Ascend into discussion, fans of all stripes. Come away enlightened. Or maybe a little enraged. Either way, you are sure to be occasionally surprisedâand endlessly entertained. Whatever your sport, welcome to the place where all the arguments are finally decided, once and for all. - Random House, Inc.
