Did he really change it to that or did they just put that on there to represent the years in his contract? I'd be pissed if I had just bought his jersey after the signing.

Bill DeWitt refered to it as "his new number"

Yeah, it's his new number. He was 5 in Colorado and Oakland, and DeRosa had 7 when Matt arrived.

Heh, Matt said he used to wear #5 and he offered Albert a watch in exchange for his number but "he already has one of those".

"Albert wears number 5. I offered him a watch, but I guess he already has one."

Nice. :cool:

Definitely #7

yea, it'll be 7

Holliday said 15 was Edmonds' and he wants to leave his own mark here. He said he likes single digit numbers and that Mickey Mantle, also from Oklahoma, wore 7. He jokingly said he wanted 5 and offered Albert a watch for it, but apparently Albert already has a watch.
