Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there is a good reference website where someone has compiled use of uniform/jersey number by franchise? The searchable layout I'm trying to find would be one where you are presented with a screen that lists each team/franchise, and then by clicking on one of those teams, the next screen would be a numerical list, and then clicking on any number would next take you to a list presenting each year or set of years for the number along with the corresponding player name throughout the history of the franchise. What I'm really looking for is identification of some players in some different photos and cards where you can make out the number but can't figure out for sure who it is from the face on a front view, or the back view doesn't have a name on back of the jersey. Not one photo in particular, just that this question of ID comes up with enough frequency for me that I would like to have a reverse look up like that rather than having to know the player and find the number. Going through annual rosters takes a surprising amount of time and trouble if you're not necessarily certain about the specific year either, so I was just hoping this search has already been set up. Extra points for including other sports besides just baseball!
Thanks a lot.
