HOUSTON — Billy Wagner was given the jersey No. 13 as a joke while in college at Division III Ferrum College in Virginia. It’s typically not a number any baseball player would like to have, but Wagner, who didn’t have many scholarship offers out of high school, was just glad to have any uniform with any number on the back.
“I didn’t know the difference from 13 or if it was bad or not,” Wagner said.
