The jersey numbers making history on March 10

Sports history is made every day of the year. We will preserve at least a small sampling from some great athletes every day based on the uniform number they wore.

7- 14 - 13

March 10, 1920 - The NHL's Quebec Bulldog skater Joe Malone, wearing Number 7 scored 6 goals against the Ottawa Senators in a single game

March 10, 1963 - The Cincinnati Reds debuted an infielder named Pete Rose, who wore the Number 14, on this day. Rose started his career strong in this Spring Training game in Tampa, Florida as he hit safely in his first two times he got into the batter's box.

March 10, 1963 - Wilt Chamberlain, Number 13  of the San Francisco Warriors dished in 70 points in a 163 to 148 loss at the hands of the Syracuse Nationals.
