Eliot Spitzer Chose His Number Wisely
With the report of Eliot Spitzer's prostitute-smashing alias to be client #9, it got us thinking of what professional athletes Spitz was trying to pay homage to when he was putting work in at the 'tele. After some research, it was evident that the now defunct governor chose his jersey number wisely, and was inspired by athletes past and present like Ted Williams and Tony Romo. Check out the other pros who've worn #9 when it came time to score.
Michael Jordan
Roger Maris
Tony Romo
Bobby Hull
Tony Parker
Ronaldo
Gordie Howe
Ted Williams

Ben, I respect your opinion on Gordie Howe but The Rocket is second to none when it comes to scoring. It was his mission in life.

You might recall that PacMan Jones wore #9 in college long before he was makin’ it rain.

Bill Mazeroski wore #9 throughout his long career with the Pirates. Many say he was the best second baseman in turning a doubleplay ever in MLB…
