Adrian Gonzalez knows a lot about numbers (23≠24)

The following is from an mlb.com article on Adrian Gonzalez. I've got something strange and superstitious for jersey numbers, so I got all hot and bothered when I saw this. A lot of the questions are in Spanish (with no translation provided) which greatly irritates me. Rawr. This chat can be found here.

daver24: Q: Why did you pick #23 for your jersey number? Is there any meaning behind the number for you?

Gonzalez: One thing that I feel everybody should understand is that as a player, you don't choose your number. I was given #23 by the Padres when I made the team, and that's the number I've worn since. With Texas I was #24, so it's not the same number. My favorite number is #14 but it's not important enough for me to try and change the number on the back of my shirt.

MLB.com gave him the benefit of the doubt, but real Padres fans know he was staring into the stands...

MLB.com gave him the benefit of the doubt, but real Padres fans know he was staring into the stands as some kid dropped his hot dog.
