Winner Winner, chicken dinner.  This is pretty much the best time to do something as mindless as this. Perhaps the next 100 page thread!?

Is it just me or has there never been a player with the number 11 in recent memory? I cant remember one and I know its not hanging in the rafters. Just wondering cause its my favorite number.

[GGGG]

11 is retired in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

That may be the most random reason to retire a number ever.

[swoopem]

At least everyone's DJO and Jae jerseys won't go to waste. Also I really hope that the spirit shop sells #54 jerseys this year because I will be purchasing one.

They received the first Pere Marquette Award...so it isn't completely random.  It is one of those things that seems very odd 40 years later though.

I hope they do too but I think they picked 0 last year to get two years out of it.

Hopefully you're heavyset and plan on purchasing a youth large.
