You know, I was surprised by the baseball crop that wore number 51.
You would think 51, that sounds like a linebacker number, an offensive lineman number.
And, you know, Dick Buckus represented that one well, and Randy Cross did as well for the 49ers.
But in baseball, it's Ichiro, it's Randy Johnson, it's Trevor Hoffman, it's Bernie Williams.
It's a weird number to have baseball.
I mean, I thought the Legion of Doom was a better defense, personally.
Maybe they didn'tβno, actually, they did play better in the Super Bowl in their Super Bowl.
They destroyed Peyton Manning that year.
I think it was 43-8, if my memory serves me correctly.
Correct.
And they had a better offense, too.
I mean, Sam Darnold, I meanβ
Russell Wilson was a first down machine.
I don't know if you remember that.
He had like 800 yards rushing that year.
He would routinely get to like third and eight, third and nine, and he would get the first down.
And then you'd have Marshawn running up your ass two plays after that.
And they were impossible to stop.
They were impossible to get off the field.
I didn't remember the 1989-49ers because my intro to football really started around the Dallas Cowboys, those 92-93 teams.
