Haywood Sullivan wore the number
16—so did
Jim Lonborg.
Rick Miller had it on his back for a while—as did
Bill Buckner,
Bob Zupcic,
Frank Viola,
Edgar Renteria and
David Wells. Most recently, it was worn by
Marco Scutaro,
Josh Reddick and
Jason Repko. But now, according to the results of our latest FenwayNation Poll, it
should be the new number of Sox rookie
Will Middlebrooks. By a narrow margin, #16 edged out #23 by 19.7% to 18.9%. Hopefully, Will sees these results and asks the equipment manager for the new, shiny #16 as soon as possible!
