Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It's All About the Numbers: The Legends, Superstitions, and Culture Behind the DigitsMichael Jordan didn't choose #23 to become a legend. He chose it because his brother wore #45, and 45 divided by 2, rounded up, equals 23. That simple calculation-born from sibling rivalry and respect-changed sports… history forever.Behind every jersey number is a story hiding in plain sight: the catcher who wears #12 to honor the twelve minutes his daughter survived without oxygen. The linebacker who paid $250,000 for two digits. The goalkeeper who chose #00 hoping for shutouts-and got exactly one. The player who built his entire brand on a girlfriend's miscount.From Rolexes to Porsches, from beer to college funds, athletes have traded everything for the right number. Some honor fallen heroes. Some follow superstitions. Some turn digits into hundred-million-dollar brands. And some discover too late they've been wearing the wrong number all along.Drawing on 350+ sources and featuring over 200 athletes-from Michael Jordan to Caitlin Clark-across baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer, It's All About the Numbers connects scattered stories across a century of sports into a comprehensive narrative about what jersey numbers really mean: identity forged through tribute, negotiation, faith, family, and sometimes pure accident. You'll learn why Tom Brady settled for #12, how your brain processes athletes differently based on their numbers, and why some teams have banned #13 for decades while others embrace it as lucky.These are the stories of sports' most visible symbols-and proof that in athletics, as in life, the number on your back isn't decoration. It's destiny.
