In 1929, uniform numbers appeared on the back of baseball jerseys for the first time, thanks to the Indians and the Yankees. By 1937, numbers finally appeared across all uniforms, both home and away, across both major leagues. Since that time, 81 distinct numbers have been worn by members of the White Sox, while the Cubs boast 76.
Today, we continue our look at those players, picking our favorite, if not the best, player to wear each uniform number for both Chicago teams with #77. Two players has donned #77 while playing in Chicago, both for the White Sox over the past decade.
Though best known for wearing #5 for the majority of his White Sox career, Yolmer Sanchez, then known as Carlos, donned #77 when he was first called up in 2014. He appeared in 28 games, hitting .250 in an even 100 at bats. He changed his number the following year.
