Good thing there’s lots of good Sevens to choose from in the world of Baseball …
Mickey Mantle
Simply the greatest Number Seven ever. And his number seven is the only number seven which has been retired by any ballclub in Major League Baseball.
During his 19 year career with the Yankees, he amassed three MVP titles, twelve AL Pennants and seven World Series Championships. Won the American League Triple Crown in 1956 with 52 Home Runs, 130 RBI and a .353 Batting Average. Sixteen-time American League All-Star. Received 88% of the vote on his first Hall of Fame Ballot in 1974.
On Seinfeld, George Costanza wanted to name his child “Seven” as a living tribute to “The Mick.”
