No. 7 | John Elway

The personification of persistence. Elway lost the first three Super Bowls he appeared in before leading the Broncos to titles in 1997 and '98. He led Denver to a record 47 fourth-quarter comebacks.

Another great to wear #7 was Mickey Mantle. If not for the booze and knee injuries, who knows what numbers he would have posted. How many pennents did the Yankees win while he was with them?

That's a tough one. Mantle was one hell of a ball player. There are some really ridiculous selections on this list. I don't know about number 12. I guess championships weight heavily in this listing, because I think John Stockton is one the greatest PG's of all time. I don't feel the same way about Brady and the QB position.
