In this unique episode of Digits Dynasty, we explore the number 48 — a jersey tied to greatness across baseball diamonds, football fields, racetracks, and even the White House. Join us as we break down the careers of MLB ace Jacob deGrom, defensive wizard Torii Hunter, and NFL Hall of Famer Les Richter, before taking a high-speed turn with NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson and an unexpected stop in politics with President Gerald Ford, who wore 48 for the Michigan Wolverines.

From deGrom’s dominance on the mound and back-to-back Cy Young Awards, to Hunter’s highlight-reel catches and clubhouse leadership, we celebrate the stars of the diamond. On the gridiron, we spotlight Richter’s toughness as a cornerstone of the Los Angeles Rams defense. Then it’s off to the track, where Jimmie Johnson’s seven Cup Series championships cemented his place as one of NASCAR’s all-time greats. And in a presidential twist, we look back at Gerald Ford’s athletic roots as a standout lineman before his rise to the Oval Office.

Who wore 48 best? Tune in as we crunch the stats, relive the iconic moments, and crown the ultimate legend behind this remarkable number.
