(I think Tinker Field in orlando)#9,the number he wore in Boston was
on a stool in front of his locker.Today I hear players expect money
and or gifts if they give up their number to a incomming star.And I
think Hondo just grabbed #33 because it was the only one that fit.I
could be wrong, it was a long time ago and I was just a stupid kid
who loved the nats.I still hate robert short!
