St. Louis Rams: 1946-2012
Dear Rams aficionados / ClanRam faithful,
Alright amigos! Midway through the 2013 offseason, I think. Time for some more fan extra-activity to play around with and/or to research ... or just plain remember.
Consider it a mild therapy to help ease the offseason pain.

Not every player that is accepted by a team, ANY TEAM, turns out to be a reason to be proud, unfortunately. I'm referring to us as fans or for that matter, the team itself. But the fact is,
these players below donned our Rams jersey and even if for a fleeting moment, they were warriors in battle, professionals in the NFL; maybe their 15
seconds of fame.
This list pretends to remember both hero as well as helper of past and present Rams teams, from HOF Super Stars to the obscure, forgotten names. See if you notice a jersey name / number missing but
please don't get carried away -- let others participate, yes?
Would appreciate your help in updating this to last year. Just post your players (from 1946 to 2012) and I'll place him on the list.
Full list is divided in 25s or, four parts. This here is I / IV
Numbers 0 through 25

From the 'JERSEYS' thread initiated five years ago, this here is the main ingredient, the nitty gritty, the JERSEY NUMBERS and the PLAYERS who sported them as far back as
1946 and as recently as
2012. I thought of including the Cleveland Rams but that is simply too far beyond my scope / time.
Let's see then if we can update the list w/names currently missing shall we?
:helmet: ...BTW, we're one of the few teams in pro sports to cover ALL #s 0-99. ADD-ON!
