I just learned the first Friday in November is National Jersey Friday each year. Cool. Since Kyrie Irving seems to be the most controversial player in sports right now his jersey sales will either skyrocket or plummet. Off the top of your head can you name Kyrie Irving 's jersey number? That's what we will do on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida. We watch sports everyday. But how quickly can we recall a player's jersey number? It's jersey number trivia!
And GOOD NEWS! Our phones are back for the first time since Hurricane Ian!
In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck! Play at home and dazzle your family! Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge! Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence! Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.
Some player's jersey numbers are very easy to recall. They are burned into our memory. Michael Jordan is always 23. Until he was 45. Then back to 23. A lot of great players today wear number 23 in honor of him. Jackie Robinson was 42. Now nobody can wear the number 42 in baseball but for one day a year when everybody wears 42 in honor of him.
Let's take a look at the obvious and not so obvious with a quick quiz on Wiki-Pete-ia.
Good Luck!
