I mean, Billy Jo Robidoux wore those two numbers as a Brewer.

Pretty close to how we ended last year: 10/13 is what we did though. Maybe they are bad at math (or me). Though unless that plate it new that is obviously not a possible fail on their part.

The people to wear 9 or 13 aren't obvious. Specifically most were one year scrubs or just plain bad.

I really want to say OF stands for outfield....but for some reason I really feel it means 9 of 13 or in another way 9 out of 13.

Perhaps nothing to do with baseball? Maybe he/she is the 9th of 13 kids in their family? Yes, that's a lot of siblings.....but maybe the fact that it is so rare is why they are putting it on their plates.

I followed someone this morning with a Brewers license plate that was "4for4"

I'm not sure I get the reference.

They might simply like the clever phonetic element of it to go along with a general baseball reference.

That would be a good one if you were a Cardinal's fan.

Maybe a family of 4 that are fans of Molitor?


Wait...are you guys serious? You guys don’t get that plate?

Y’all need to look at more box scores, preferably ones where a guy gets four hits...in four ABs....


I know what 4 for 4 means. I just don't get the significance if it relates to a particular person or event.

Why does it need to have significance beyond a baseball term? I'm sure someone has GRSLAM, HR, WLKOFF, etc. all kinds of baseball related terms. Don't think about it too hard, just take it as face value. Only other thing it COULD be on top of that is having 4 people in the family, but that's about it.

No, as mentioned, could be a reference Molitor as well. If 4 for 4 just means 4 for 4 as in the baseball term, then should have just saved some money and gone with the generic non personalized plate imho.

I have it narrowed down to 6 ideas that I like...

Others that are available that I am not going to use:

EUCKER
S1XT0 - Great idea provided in this thread though!
CRUW - too redundant
99WAR

I think that is fairly recent. I remember when I was deciding on one that was available.

I decided to take the plunge on Ball and Glove plates myself. After tossing around ideas in my head I'm not going with a baseball referrence, though it could be since it's a modified take on the number 42, which I could claim has a Jackie Robinson connection, but that's not really the inspiration for it.

I'll share some of the ones I thought of but didn't go with. Last time I checked these they were all available but that was a while ago. I'm not sharing my 2nd choice in case something goes wrong with my 1st choice.

CUHADR
BNTDBL
GR8GME
H8R71
CYEL22
CRUWIN

It appears SCRUBS is still available if anyone wants to incorporate an endearing alternate moniker for the Northsiders.

STLSUX is available, and I had it down as my 1st pick, however, I showed it to 3 different people, and all 3 of them read it as STILL SUCKS!

I don't know if I want people to read my Milwaukee Brewers plates as saying the Brewers still suck...

When I see it, I immediately think St. Louis, but that might not be the case with the general public. I want to celebrate my fandom, not look like a negative jerk.

I am also not so sure they will accept it either. We shall see, I bumped it down to #2 when I sent in my form.

Still no word...

I mailed my application & payment on June 3, just got my vehicle registration form in the mail on Friday showing my #1 choice as my new plate number. So figure about 3 weeks from when you mailed yours in to get your new form. Still waiting for the actual plates, I think it said 4 to 6 weeks so I may have another 3 weeks to wait for those.

My #2 choice was BL00PR I kind of liked that one.

Can I ask what your #1 choice was? If you'd rather not share, that is fine too.

I went with XXXXXX which is just a play on the word/number 42. My favorite number. I can also claim a Jackie Robinson baseball connection if I wanted to. Or Scott Karl [laughing]

Edit: Not really keen on having my plate number out there for the entire lifespan of the internet.

My confirmation came yesterday...

And the winner is:

TRATTS

This was my order I sent in:

TRATTS
STLSUX
WLKOFF

TRATS was already taken, so I added the second T and was good to go.

STLSUX just didn't sit well with me knowing the "unbaseball" fan might not get it.

I considered YRDWRK for a while as well.

Had a hard time passing up on S1XTO...

Since I live in Appleton, and go to roughly 20 Timber rattlers games per summer, maybe more, TRATTS seemed a natural fit, especially since they are a Brewers farm team. Had they still been a part of Seattle, I wouldn't have even considered it.
