In franchise history the Patriots have dressed at least one player, in at least one regular-season game, with every uniform number, from #1 through # 99. What uniform number was the last to be worn for the first time (i.e., #16 was first worn in 1971 by Jim Plunkett, #39 was first worn in 1973 by Sam Cunningham, #69 was first worn in 1971 by Julius Adams)?
a) #5 (first worn in 1983 by kicker Fred Steinfort)
b) #9 (first worn in 1993 by kicker Scott Sisson)
c) #95 (first worn in 1983 by linebacker Ed Reynolds)
d) #99 (first worn in 1985 by nose-tackle/defensive end Ben Thomas)
BTW -- "tragolimia 69" is currently in first place, to win the November contest for a complimentary copy of Patriots Bits & Pieces: From Day One, with two correct answers. Lets go everyone, get your answers in, pronto, don't miss out on the fun. The first five people to give an answer for each question every day, for the remaining of November will get a 50% discount for the purchase of a Patriots book, plus a free copy of The Heartache Years, my Red Sox, written last fall. Good luck!!!!!
