Ever realize #4 is retired on all Wisconsin pro-sports franchises?

Bucks-4 Moncrief

Brewers—4 Molitor

Packers—4 Favre

Apparently Pat Listach wore #4 in 1996 for some reason. I can find no visual record of this, though. But it apparently did happen.

4 – Retired, of course, for Paul Molitor, Pat Listach actually wore #4 in 1996 as a tribute to his former teammate. It was also worn by Brett Favre when he took batting practice at County Stadium in 1998.

Wait, isn't that Geoff Jenkins?

A quick Google Images search reveals that throughout his career Listach appears to have always worn a number that was a multiple of 4. But I also couldn’t find him in a #4 Brewers uni.

First, Wisconsin's own J.P. Feyereisen:

Then Jedd Gyorko, who had an excellent 2020 COVID season, otherwise known as the season that time forgot:

Finally, Tim Johnson, who was #4 before Molitor. Johnson has a pretty interesting story in his own right. He was hired as manager of the Blue Jays in 1998, and went on to win 88 games, only to get embroiled in a scandal concerning lies he told his team concerning his combat service in Vietnam. He never held another MLB job after that.

Is there any other city/state that has had three better players wear the same number?

Perhaps LA #32:  Magic Johnson, Sandy Koufax, Marcus Allen.  But I like ours better.

This game is genius. 

Detroit had some great #16s. Bob Lanier, Hal Newhouser and Vladimir Konstantinov, but that's way below Milwaukee's and LAs. 

Chicago has some awesome number 9s: Minnie Minoso (White Sox), Ron Harper (Bulls), and Bobby Hull.

Greatest BREWER EVER he should be on the walk of fame and his number retired!

For what it's worth, I think winning any game in Miami clinches a playoff spot.
