Keith Acton wore it in the early 80's, as did Serge Boisvert. Mike Keane wore it in the early 90's before he was traded to Colorado with Patrick Roy.
Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals whose number is retired and current Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, who will probably get his number retired, have worn number 17. Lance Berkman wore 17 in his legendary Houston Astros career and it will almost definitely be retired. First baseman Keith Hernandez on six of his eleven gold gloveds wearing number 17 for the New York Mets and a brief tenure with the Cleveland Indians.
