Whenever you play a sport in which jersey's are assigned and numbers given, it is almost automatic that some guy picks the number "69." It never fails. And while you'd think that people would be over the whole my-jersey-number-is-69 once they got out of High School and the whole "You said 69" thing isn't quite as giggle-worthy as it used to be, somebody always picks that number in adult leagues too.

In fact, it's almost mandatory. Like you can't really have a team unless you have some guy with "69" on his jersey so until somebody step's up, takes one for the team, and picks the number "69," you're not really a team yet. Usually it's the guy who can you almost see still thinking it's giggle-worthy, but like on my softball team, the guy who stepped up was so beyond thinking 69 was funny that it was funny that he was the guy who was 69. On the other hand, he was the Captain and probably thought that since nobody else chose it, it was up to him to do it.
