After 5+ years in the majors, it looks as though Ryan Madson is finally shedding the #63 he has worn his whole career for a more big league-suitable #46. No word yet on what prompted the change, but I imagine after he signed his nice 3-year, $12 million deal he didn’t want to be confused with those high numbered nobodies who have absolutely no shot of making the team.
Unfortunately, if you happened to purchase a Madson jersey prior to this year, it is now worthless.

Nice catch.

New number, same flat ass.

It’s because the locker room in Clearwater is arranged numerically and he wanted to be next to Eyre not minor-leaguers. I had a post about it a few weeks ago: http://shayroddy.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/no-mo-zo-feliz-ruiz-and-the-mad-dog/

Good stuff Shay, sorry I didn’t see it…

46 was my number in almost every sport I played. It’s a good one. Like Tug McGraw +1. I like Tug.

The fact that Bright House Networks field could or would not renumber their lockers somehow per request from a player seems flat-out retarded.

thats gay. i liked him as #63. who cares if its a high number. Look at K-Rod, his number i think is in the 70’s and hes the lights out closer Bors thinks Madson can be

@ Vote for Cooch:
K-Rod was #57…gonna have to change it because Santana wears that number in NY…I haven’t seen what he’s changed it to yet.

@MikeY:
He flipped the digits around for 75 now. Same as Barry Zito. Coincidence?
