JERSEY SELECTION by Tannen

Time to get completely ridiculous. We briefly hit on this during yesterday's show after I mentioned seeing some heavy set older guy in the stands wearing the basketball jersey of his favorite college team. He looked like an idiot. Baseball, football, hockey, even soccer sweaters or uniforms are acceptable. My question requires a trip through history. Name the character and the uni that person would likely don if they were around today.
Obviously Atilla the Hun would wear a Raiders jersey, likely a Matuzak. Hate to say it, but George Washington has to put on a Husky uni, I'm thinking Billy Joe Hobert.
As a martyr Joan of Arc must go Cubs, preferably Ernie Banks. If it's football, Lions. Einstein absolutely would have been a fan of the 1965 Princeton team that future Knick & Senator Bill Bradley led to the Final 4 out of the thinking man's league, the Ivy. I guess the big question is what would we find in the closet that belonged to God? Hockey: Gretzky #99 from Edmonton. Baseball: Willie Mays #24 New York Giants. Football: Walter Payton. Basketball: Lew Alcindor #33 UCLA. Near perfection. Let's get into this. Here is a list of folks. You tell me the jersey.
Benedict Arnold, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Meryl Streep, The Sundance Kid, Ceasar, Hitler, Magellan. Or you can come up with some of your own.

George Washington in a Husky jersey? I don't get it. He'd clearly have on a Glenn Davis or Doc Blanchard shirt. Winston Churchill? How about an Ali robe? Obama? Got to be Jackie Robinson. Jack the Ripper? OJ obviously, but probably a USC uni instead of the Bills. Pontias Pilate? A-Rod's Mariner's jersey. Custer: Tony Eason's 85 Patriots shirt. William Henry Harrison (who gave the longest inaugural speech in history): Gotta be Deion Sanders. Fun idea Steve. I see you in Minnie Minoso's 76 White Sox uni with the shorts...
