Numbers are something that every looks at in sports. Batting fourth in a baseball lineup indicates you're a power hitter, wearing the No. 23 jersey number in basketball means you're compared to Michael Jordan. In soccer, the No. 10 jersey is a source of pride and brings expectations. Those expectations will be put onto Philadelphia Union's newest Designated Player as Jamiro Monteiro arrived in Clearwater, Florida with the No. 10 kit.
"I joked with him when he got off the plane last night that that number is a heavier shirt," Head Coach Jim Curtin said during his weekly press conference with media.
