Description

What do Al Campana, Frank Dempsey, Stan Wallace, Don Mullins, Gale Sayers, and Steve Trimble all have in common? They all wore number 40 for the Chicago Bears, even if more than four decades passed between the last time Campana last pulled on his jersey and the number was once retired for Sayers in 1994 (along side 51 for Dick Butkus).

Since the Chicago Bears first adopted uniform numbers in 1932, the team has handed out only 99 numbers to more than 1,000 players. That’s a large number of overlap. It also makes for a large number of good stories. Bears by the Numbers tells those stories for each and every Bear since ’32, from Red Grange to Pernell McPhee. This book lists the players alphabetically and by number; these biographies assist trace the history of certainly one of football’s oldest and most beloved teams in a new way.

For Bears fans, someone who ever wore the uniform is like circle of relatives. Bears by the Numbers reintroduces readers to a few of their long-lost ancestors, even those they think they already know.
