On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year, let us remember the greats who have worn #11 as part of Washington D.C. teams. The argument can be made that #11 is the most prolific number in D.C. annals — worn by two Hall of Famers, retired by two teams and currently worn by a face of the franchise.

Mike Gartner

Washington Capitals 1979-1989 (Hall of Fame, retired number)
Mark Rypien
Washington Redskins 1986-1993 (Super Bowl XXVI MVP)
Ryan Zimmerman
