02/05: Phil Wants to Wear Number 34
Posted by: Patrick
Phil Hughes mentioned on his blog that he spoke with Sean Henn about taking his number 34. Henn agreed, but it's not official just yet.
Looking at the people who have worn the number, this is certainly one that Phil could make his own. Most notably, it's been worn by Mel Stottlemyre as a coach from 1996 through 2005 and Dick Howser as a coach from 1969 through 1978 and as a manager in 1980. Beyond that, it's mostly an assortment of players that didn't make much of an impact.
From 1980 through today, the players that have had the number include Dave LaRoche, Roy Smalley, Matt Keough, Scott Bradley, Ron Hassey, Doug Drabek, Mike Armstrong, Bob Davidson, Rich Dotson, Walt Terrell, Don Schulze, Pascual Perez, Mike Humphreys, Jerry Nielsen, Andy Cook, Sterling Hitchcock, Sam Militello, Greg Harris, Rob Murphy, Bob MacDonald, Jaret Wright and, of course, Mr. Henn. So, in the past 28 years, 22 players have held the number, as well as 1 manager (Howser) and 2 coaches (Stottlemyre and Mike Ferraro).
