Tweeting The Numbers, #'s 11-20

Let's keep this train rolling. To recap, these are my favorite players by jersey number, and I'm doing it tweet style to keep it short and sweet. Check out the first post here.

#11, Drew Bledsoe. Apologies to: Dana Barros, Bill Mueller, Dan Spang. Drew's comeback in PIT in '01 one of most moving performances ever.

#12, Tom Brady. Apologies to: Adam Oates, Pumpsie Green, Ellis Burks, Mike Grier. He's fading now, but after 3 rings he could only go down.

#13, Dan Marino. Apologies to: Delonte West, John Valentin, Nick Bonino. My first Halloween sports "costume" was a teal Marino jersey.

#14, Bob Cousy. Apologies to: Sergei Samsanov, Steve Grogan, Jim Rice, Carl Corrazzini. The definition of crotchety, old, yet beloved, man.

#15, Tom Heinsohn. Apologies to: Dustin Pedroia, Rick Meagher, Kevin Millar. Yes he's a homer, but he was once CBS' color guy for reason.

#16, Peter McArthur. Apologies to: "Satch" Sanders, Jim Lonborg. Not best group, so I'll go with guy I saw play, even if he never won.

#17, Todd Helton. Apologies to: John Havlicek, Dick Radatz, Jack O'Callaghan. Hard. Met Helton & Radatz, respect both & other 2 true champs.

#18, Chris Drury. Apologies to: Dave Cowens, Reggie Jefferson. We used to have saying: Jack Parker is God, & Chris Drury is Jesus. Go BU!

#19, Joe Thornton. Apologies to: Tom Tupa, Fred Lynn, Josh Beckett, Chris Bourque. Essentially stopped caring for NHL after B's traded him.

#20, Barry Sanders. Apologies to: Ray Allen, Gino Cappelletti, Kevin Youkilis, Chris Iannetta. Once went to Lions-Pats preseason just 4 him.

Next up: #'s 21-30.
