The Friday Numbers

Sorry, most of you are probably at the bar already, I didn't get to post the numbers this morning. So without further ado...here's your Friday diversion. We're celebrating February only having 28 days (I'll drink to that) and that means spring is around the corner.

- At Age 28, Adam Dunn has more home runs, runs, and walks than Reggie Jackson, Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco and Harmon Killebrew all did at the same age.

- Legendary basketball coach Pat Summitt has averaged 28 victories a year for 35+ years...and a typical NCAA women's basketball season is about 35 games. Over the last four seasons the New York Knicks have averaged just 28 victories per year out of a possible 82.

- Pitcher Tim Wakefield has 164 victories in a Red Sox uniform, leaving him 28 short of the two club record holders: legends Cy Young and Roger Clemens.

- Darrell Greene, a Washington Redskins Hall-of-Famer, was a first round pick by Washington, in 1983. He was the 28th overall pick. He also wore the jersey number 28.

- Legendary basketball coach Dean Smith was born on February 28th, 1931.

- Last year Amateur UK horse jockey Anthony Knott won his first ever race. It took him 28 years to do it.

- There were a total of 28 sports at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

See you in March!
