Brought To You By The No. 7

Blues to honor those who have worn No. 7

The Blues finally have figured a way to recognize the most significant sweater number in their history, No. 7, and some of the players who wore it.

Because the number has been shared by more than one such prominent player, No. 7 has never been retired. But the franchise will honor four of its most prominent players, and the No. 7 they shared, on March 7, appropriately enough, at Scottrade Center.

In a ceremony before a game with Columbus, the Blues will recognize Red Berenson, Garry Unger, Joe Mullen and Keith Tkachuk for their accomplishments.

That is all well and good, but why must we discriminate? If we are gonna celebrate some number 7 wearers, let's celebrate them all!

Such as:

Ricard Persson and his one career playoff goal scored while he was a Blue, or

Cliff Ronning who successfully lied about his height for almost four full seasons with the Blues, or

Nelson Emerson who was memorably outscored by Denny Felsner in the 92-93 playoffs.

Good times. Good times.
