Three of the greatest players in Detroit Lions history have worn the number 20 -- Hall-of-Fame cornerback/kick returner Lem Barney (1967-77), Pro Bowl halfback Billy Sims (1980-84) and Hall-of-Fame running back Barry Sanders (1989-98). The number has been retired by the franchise.

The first baseball team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived. in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to the backs of their jerseys. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup.for example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth. I could not find any Detroit Tiger players that wore uniform number 44.
Hendrick was traded to the Cardinals from the Padres in May, 1978. He wore #27 for the 1978 season since the #25, his usual number, was being worn by Jerry Morales. Morales was traded to the Detroit Tigers after the 1978 season and Hendrick wore the #25 for the rest of his time with the Cardinals (1979-1984).

Jack Clements of the Philadelphia Phillies was the first catcher to wear a chest protector in 1885. The first chest protectors were worn under the uniform and not over. Clements was one of the few left handed catchers in the game and caught over 1000 games, the most of any left handed catcher in MLB history.
Prior to the 2007 season, #4 was worn by Bobby Higginson during the 2005 season.
