This is a grade-A varsity move. If you can pull this move off you will immediately become cooler than 90% of the people you hang out with. I used to pull off this move all the time when I was a caddie. “How far we got Bobby?” “One-hundred and Ray Borque.” Observing the puzzled faces was classic, “Sorry one-hundred and seventy-seven.” Not my fault he didn’t know Ray Borque wore #77. Move #48 is a top secret language for observant sports fans; join the party. Take a look below and memorize, because referencing numbers to athletes, COULD BE THE MOVE!

*Note: 60-79 is pretty much a snooze fest. I suggest taking two players into the #. For instance, #62, “Bill Russell and Derek Jeter.”*

*By all means use #’s you are familiar with. Below is a solid list in case you are drawing a blank.*
