Underrated in my opinion....

it's funny that your pic showed Davey w/ Pete, not sure if it's true, but I once heard a story that Pete jr asked his Dad what he did to get out of a slump and Pete said I don't know..never been in one, go ask Concepcion :mrgreen:

Clemente began his career wearing 13. I doubt if there are any pictures of it.
Billy Wagner.
Ralph Branca wore 13. That number didn't work out too well for him, now did it.

Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

I met someone who played with Pete Rose when he was in the minors. He was a jerk even then. High spiker, etc. He bragged he would be the first player to make $100k hitting singles. Of course, he backed it up.

Robbie Alomar's certainly a deserving #12 Wayne. However if we're going to utilize him today, we may as well use a picture of him on the team he's most proud of being a part of during his HOF career.....

Image


Of course, the most intriguing #12 to me in baseball history can be one player and one player only....

Image

.....the immortal Kate Upton of course.


And in a bonus pic of Upton in one of her other uniforms of choice that hopefully will help ease the pain (and nausea) of that picture of Pete Rose from the other day that still haunts both this thread and our nightmares..... :?

Image

:D

12 Days, can not wait.

I'm not very good with the photo thing. If I were it would be:

In 1912 the GREATEST stadium ever built was born!

(Insert Tiger Stadium)

100 Years later (2012 for the non math majors ;) ) the best high stakes fantasy event was created:

THE NFBC XII


Time to get this party started. Sign me up for another on this momentous day. I'll be happy to play 2 or 3!!

Winner of nine Silver Slugger awards and three Gold Glove awards. He was selected to the Major League All-Star Game twelve times, and was elected the 1995 National League Most Valuable Player. Not bad for a guy who only played in 177 minor league games.

One of my fave Mets when I first started watching baseball and the definitive #11 in baseball history......

PS.....and to continue with the theme, 32 career games at SS on his near-HOF resume.
