Additionally, Mays wanted to stand out and make a name for himself in Major League Baseball, and the number became synonymous with his legendary career.

Mickey Mantle.
Mickey Mantle number 7On April 17, 1951 the 19 year old Mickey Mantle broke into the big leagues with the New York Yankees wearing uniform number 6. After a bad start Mickey was sent down to the minors. He told his dad he was going to quit, and his father told him to pack his bags to come home. After a second thought to try again Mickey was then called up again to the Yankees, and was then issued number 7, the number he would wear the rest of his career.
Bill Cerv wore #7 in 1951 before Mantle did.
Mickey Mantle
Maybe at the hall of fame.
