In Part 1 of this two-episode edition of Digits Dynasty, we turn our focus to one of the most iconic numbers in all of sports, the legendary number 10. We’ll zero in on the “Big Four” North American sports, as we explore the athletes who brought flair, leadership, and championship moments to this storied digit — including Chipper Jones, Eli Manning, and Ron Francis.

From Chipper’s Hall of Fame bat and leadership at the heart of the Braves’ lineup, to Eli’s cool-under-pressure Super Bowl heroics in New York, and Ron Francis’s brilliance as one of the most complete centers in NHL history, we break down how these stars helped define what it means to wear 10. We’ll talk careers, clutch moments, and the different ways this number seems to gravitate toward playmakers and captains across the sports world.

And just when you think the number couldn’t get any bigger… next weeks’ part 2 takes us to the global stage. That’s where the number 10 becomes almost mythical, thanks to the soccer icons who turned it into a symbol of pure magic. We’ll talk Pelé, Maradona, Messi and more… and yes, we’ll debate who truly owns the crown.
