And the beat goes on. Previously, I covered #'s 00-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40 and 41-50. These are tweet-style to keep it concise, and emphasis is given to guys whom I watched play.
#51, Jerod Mayo. Apologies to: Julian Tavarez. He slumped a little in his 2nd year due to injury, but Mayo will spread it on again next yr.
#52, Carl Corazzini. Apologies to: Stojko Vrankovic, Ted Johnson, Mike Boddicker. Cheating a bit, this was Captain Carl's # on Bruins.
#53, Chris Slade. Apologies to: Joe Kleine, Tomo Ohka. His 51 sacks are 3rd on Pats all-time. Slade had 4+ sacks in all 8 seasons w/Pats.
#54, Tedy Bruschi. Apologies to: Ed Pinckney. Always better player in minds of Pats fans than he really was but we don't care. We love Tedy.
#55, Willie McGinest. Apologies to: Eric Williams, Tim Lincecum. McGinest always forgotten when people talk about diff btw new & old Pats D.
#56, Andre Tippett. Apologies to: Franklin Morales. W/ McGinest, only Pat w/ more sacks than Slade, Tippett had name a child could remember.
#57, Calvin Pickering. Apologies to: Steve Nelson. My friend @harding_at_mlb stumped for Nelson, but big Cal was just too much fun to watch.
#58, Jonathan Papelbon. Apologies to: Matt Chatham. I actually don't much like Paps & his absurd poor man's Rocker-tude, but I respect him.
#59, Roosevelt Colvin. Injuries prevented him from being an A+ signing, but Rosey was a hard worker who was effective when healthy.
#60, Hanley Ramirez. Unfortunately, he only had 2 PA w/ Sox, but I'll always root 4 him. Sox got '07 WS, but would have had more w/ Hanley.
This post marks the end of consecutive #'s. As I get into the 60's, I mean I could keep offering players for each number, but it wouldn't be genuine. It would be naming them just to name them. Two posts to go!
Next Up: #'s 61-82
