My favorite number is #12. I love the number 12, because of the 12th man from my alma mater, Texas A&M. The Real home of the 12th man. The tradition of the Twelfth Man was born on the second of January 1922, when an underdog Aggie team was playing Centre College, then the nation's top ranked team. As the hard fought game wore on, and the Aggies dug deeply into their limited reserves, Coach Dana X. Bible remembered a squad man who was not in uniform. He had been up in the press box helping reporters identify players. His name was E. King Gill, and was a former football player who was only playing basketball. Gill was called from the stands, suited up, and stood ready throughout the rest of the game, which A&M finally won 22-14. When the game ended, E. King Gill was the only man left standing on the sidelines for the Aggies.This gesture was more than enough for the Aggie Team. Although Gill did not play in the game, he had accepted the call to help his team. He came to be thought of as the Twelfth Man because he stood ready for duty in the event that the eleven men on the gridiron needed assistance. That spirit of readiness for service, desire to support, and enthusiasm helped kindle a flame of devotion among the entire student body; a spirit that has grown vigorously throughout the years. The entire student body at A&M is the Twelfth Man, and they stand during the entire game to show their support. The 12th Man is always in the stands waiting to be called upon if they are needed.
It was my dad's # when he played football in high school for the same reason, along with mine # also.

My favorite number is #23. I was a huge Don Mattingly fan growing up and I always wore that number when I played basketball and baseball. In football my favorite number was #89. It was the first number that I wore in high school and I kept it theough high school and my first year of college. It was also the year that I graduated from HS.

Great question.
31....always has been, always will be.
I wore that number for 4 years of HS baseball and 2 yrs of college ball. My wife thinks I'm nuts (I really am a little psychotic)...to this day when I microwave somehting...I'll put it in for like 2 mins. and 31 secs ;) or I'll stop the micro with 31 secs left.
Anywhos..that's my deal.
