    I love this webpage. Thanks to Mr Hanki's Throne for maintaining it and posting a link to it on the MLS board. I saw it a long time ago but moron that I am I never bookmarked it. (Took care of that this time though.)

    I'd like to nominate #11 as the most disappointing number of all time.

    The best ... maybe #9 if not for that Juan Berthy Suarez incident and, well, the last two years. Certainly not #10. Perhaps #23.

    And, oh yeah, let me just say: Sterling Wescott. :)

    I think #14 is the inspirational leader number. Two of the hardest working players in franchise history have worn it. Rammel and Olsen.

    I wonder what number Gazza would have worn...

    Based on the franchise numerical history - #11 or #17, but maybe #19.

    Clearly numbers 32, 35, and 36 are the most disappointed of all time...the poor guys.

    I wonder if Rimando will take the #1 Jersey now that Ammann has officially retired.

    Rimando owns #18. That was his number with Miami.

    As above, Rimando prefers #18.

    According to the roster on DCUnited.com, Doug Warren has already been issued #1, and Behonick has #22.

    The picture of him in practice had him wearing #33.

    Maybe 77, symbolic of a Seagram's 7 & 7.

    I knew there was a reason "...straight from the mountain springs to you - 33"

    I guess he was hoping for a Rolling Rock endorsement.

    Along these lines, a big ketchup fan would get jersey #57?
