We don’t yet have football but when we do, the seven newest members of the Steelers will already have their numbers. Wex tweeted the word out earlier this week, and because I have nothing better to do, I took a look back at the Steelers players who previously wore Nos. 35, 39, 40, 54, 62, 65, and 95. (If you’re really bored, the entire list from 0-100, is here.)
Like I said, I have a lot of time on my hands — but there’s more! Where I could find it on the Googles, I included links to those players who first wore these numbers (they have also been memorialized in that snazzy Photoshop above). Enjoy the trip to yesteryear … and while you’re at it pray for a speedy resolution to all this labor silliness.
