Best Cleveland Sports Jersey #s of All-Time

[Hurl Bruce]

I think this was just some dude's opinion. Which #s did he get wrong?

Obvious ones for me at first glance:

7 s/b Kenny Lofton
57 s/b Clay Matthews

Spoiler

 

[Real Deal]

Manny's time with Cleveland > Chubb's time with Cleveland, that's the first mistake I see. Then I circle back to Kenny > Bingo. Kenny turned in 9.5 great seasons here, 5 all star bids. Manny turned in 7 great seasons and 4 Allstar bids, plus being a slugger and household name.

Thome and Price is so tough, just take the last name off and put an orange 5 next to the red 2.

#1 should probably be Bobby Avila

Give the nod to Price IMO.

Only discrepancy I see here is Mack at 55 over DeClercq. Otherwise solid.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

The first, most glaring issue is the lack of Otto Orf's 00.

I will co-sign the #57 Clay Mathews jersey

There has to have been a better 22 than Larry Nance Jr. Loved the guy but he was here for like two years

Huh?

Larry Nance Sr. silly, 6.5 years, 2 All-star appearances, his jersey hangs in the rafters.

I knew that...

If the Tribe didn't choke the 3-1, Kipnis gets the nod for me. He had a great playoff run in 2016 and delivered in the WS.

Wait a second.

Joe Smith over Rocky Calivito? Lmao, nobody picked that up

Thome is in the pantheon of HR hitters in MLb history. Mark was great, but Thome was a level higher.

21 absolutely has to be Hector Marinaro.

Right now, Manny gets it over Chubblet; but a couple more great seasons, or if the next coach unlocks Chubbs potential, he can pass Manny. Manny's best seasons were in a BoSox uniform. Manny's best season here was his walk year.

Yes, the legendary Rocky Calivito. One of the Cleveland baseball legends of his era, along side Minny Minudo, Luis Taint, and Sullen Sam McDougal.

We had a player named Taint? Was he stuck between a dick and an asshole?

Not sure, but a Google search showed his locker was between those of Dick Howser and Paul Assenmacher?
