I wanted to be 4 (for Bobby Orr), but it was taken. So I took 10 (for Fran Tarkenton, Minn. Vikings Hall of Fame quarterback). Then 2 years later Guy Lafleur came on big, so it was a "cool" number to have! I have worn it ever since in every sport I have played...until 3 years ago when I joined my current team. The team's sponsor also wears that number, and would not give it up to me. So I had to switch to 11, and I haven't been the same player since!
