Question
My friend is considering buying a Bobby Doerr vintage card for his son's first birthday - he's a crazy Sox fan and wants to get his boy a special Red Sox card with a uniform number correlating to his birthday every year. Who would the top player (or players) be who've worn the numbers 1-18 in Red Sox history? Retired numbers (Cronin, Yaz etc.) obviously would get the nod.

Thanks,

Mark

Answer
Hi Mark,

Thanks for writing.

Rather than give you a very, very long answer, here's a link that lists every Red Sox player by the number they wore and when they wore it.

It should be of great help in picking out the players to get cards of:
