Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Michael Jordan didn't choose #23 because it was iconic - he made it iconic. Long before it became the most recognizable number in sports, it was simply a mathematical tribute to his older brother Larry, whose own number was 45. Jordan aimed to be "half as good," rounded up, and in doing so c…reated a number that would define a generation.It's All About the Numbers explores the stories, psychology, and cultural meaning behind the jersey numbers athletes choose - and the numbers fans obsess over. From childhood heroes to family ties, from superstition to branding, from quiet personal decisions to global symbols, numbers in sports carry far more weight than most people realize.Through vivid storytelling and deep research, Rob Lorton uncovers why certain numbers become legendary, why some athletes cling to the same digit their entire career, and why fans form emotional attachments to the numbers stitched on their heroes' backs. Along the way, the book reveals how numbers shape identity, memory, and legacy across every major sport.Whether you're a lifelong fan, a student of sports culture, or simply someone who loves the hidden stories behind the game, It's All About the Numbers shows how something as simple as a number can carry history, personality, and power. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: 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 spor…ts 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.
