Number lists with Joe Poz
Lists, lists, lists. Joe Poz gives us his “best players wearing jersey number” 0 to 99 list. When I see these kinds of lists, I ask these questions of the author:
1. Does he even think of hockey players?
2. If he does, is #20 Tretiak?
3. Does he recognize the greatness of #30 Raines?
Poz is fantastic, because he nails #1, #2, #3. That tells me he took a good deal of care.
Not sure why he did not include Larry Robinson, nor Jean Beliveau, or Jacques Plante, among others. All this proves is that someone can take a great deal of care in doing these kinds of trivial lists, and still end up missing the giants of their sports.
