Justin Morneau changed his number from 33 to 66 on Wednesday.
As a Canadian, Morneau is a huge Vancouver Canucks fan, so maybe his love for hockey is the reason he switched his number?
“Nope,” Morneau told Jim Souhan. “It’s just 33 times two.”

Morneau went 3-for-3 in his third game with the Pirates Tuesday night. A win for Pittsburgh tonight in Milwaukee will clinch the Pirates’ first winning season in two decades.
