Changing Uniform Numbers

[0077]

Most Players use at least Two Uniform Numbers during their Career. As a Rookie they are assigned a Number and if they become Stars they usually get to Pick a Uniform Number that will become well know especially if they make it to the Hall of Fame.

Question:

What Player(s) do you know have worn at least FOUR different Numbers during his/their Career(s)?

The object is to try and find out what Player has the distinction of wearing the MOST different Uniform Numbers during his Career.

I'd like to submit Bill Buckner and Rick Dempsey. Buckner wore 5 numbers in his career (38, 22, 16, 6, and 14), and Dempsey wore 7 numbers (8, 38, 25, 46, 24, 17, and 14).

[tearforamariner]

How about Bobo Newsom, with 11? He wore 27, 21, 12, 8, 15, 33, 00, 16, 34, 48, and 20. That'll be hard to beat.

Former Mariner/ Twin/ Indian/Tiger/ Mariner again John Moses wore several numbers. At least 5.

He wore 5 different numbers, but when did he play for the Tribe?

Thanks for the catch, I don't know what I was thinking.
