#27, Bucky Brandon/ Bob Locker, Pitcher

Another number that would see multiple players. It became common place for a losing team that was constantly turning over the roster.

 Bucky Brandon would start the 1969 season with 27 on his back. He would get hurt in the end of May, and would eventually be sold to the Twins in July.


Bob Locker would come to Seattle in a trade with the White Sox in June of '69. He would finish out the season carrying the flag for #27 in Seattle.

Brandon wore #32 with the Phillies until Steve Carlton arrived in 1972. He then switched to #30. The #32 was retired after Carlton left.
