Now, what's the story about Mario Lemieux's number choice?  Was it in
deference to Gretzky or in his face?

Sheeeech John, It's a luck he didn't wear #69, what a story you could have
invented there!

No, actually, I was looking for the story; I was merely wondering whether his
choice of 66 (nines upside down) was at all related to Gretzky's 99.

(btw, Howe was a good player, but far from being amonst the best of all
time.  His records are only a proof of his love to play, as he did for sooo
many years...)

I agree.  I don't hold Howe in any particularly high regard; but I do consider
Gretzky by far and away to be the greatest player of all time, and since Howe
was *his* hero, I make deference to him on that score alone.
