Daily Red Sox Links: The All Single Digit Red Sox Team
Brandon Phillips is now a member of the Boston Red Sox officially and in doing so, he had to pick a jersey number to wear. He went with 0, which is an underutilized number in baseball if you ask me. If double zeros were good enough form Robert Parish, one should be good enough for anybody.
Perhaps the most interesting revelation of Phillips’ number choice is that nobody in the history of the Red Sox has worn zero. That’s a long time to go before somebody decided a simple nil would suffice. Of course, there have been plenty of players in the franchise’s history to wear other single digit numbers. Here are the best at No. 1-9.
1 - Bobby Doerr
