LUCKY 8s in SPORT

Kobe Bryant – Basketball

The Los Angeles Lakers star who’s considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time started his career wearing the number 8 and won two championships in the lucky 8. In 2006 however he decided to change to his high school number, 24.

Patty Mills/Matthew Dellavedova- Basketball

It seems Australians also have a love for the lucky 8 as not one but two Boomers donning the number for their respective NBA teams and both have won championships with it. Patty Mills wears #8 for the San Antonio Spurs while Matthew Dellavedova wore #8 when the Cleveland Caviliers won their title in 2016 before taking the same number to his new team the following season, the Milwaukee Bucks.

Yogi Berra – Baseball

When it comes to a lucky 8 player, few have had more than Yankees legend Yogi Berra who playe for the team between 1946 and 1963. The late great catcher won the World Series no less than 10 times, no other Major League Baseball player has more. He also won the MVP title three times, a record only five players in history has achieved. He then went on to coach the New York Mets after his playing days before reuniting with the Yankees in 1983. Berra’s lucky 8 jersey was retired by the Yankees in 1972.

Dale Earnhardt- NASCAR

When it comes to numbers, few sports take them more seriously than the drivers and teams of American stock car racing. NASCAR’s most popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr (son of the sport’s legend the late Dale Earnhardt), for years had the lucky 8 on the side of his car. But Earnhardt ended up leaving the team owned by his step mother and wanted to bring the number with him to his new team Hendrick Motorsports. Well Teresa Earnhardt was having none of that despite Dale Jr choosing the #8 because his grandfather, Ralph Earnhardt, used that number. So instead he’s had to settle for No. 88.

Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup – V8 Supercars

Back home in Australian racing the number 8 has had plenty of luck as well with British racing team 888 Racing winning multiple championships thanks to Jamie Whincup who has #88 on his car (he changed to number 1 for years following his championship win as is tradition in the sport). The team’s other driver Craig Lowndes wears #888 and has won the famous Bathurst 1000 five times with that number.

Romain Grosjean – Formula 1

In 2015 Formula 1 brought back number choosing for drivers (previously it was ordered by team’s placings in the championship the previous season) and lucky #8 was chosen by French driver Romain Grosjean. Eight is a very special number for him, because his wife’s birthday is on December the 8th and they also met each other in 2008.

Who should a Gemini marry?

Generally, the most compatible signs for Gemini friendships and romantic relationships are fellow air signs Aquarius and Libra, as they'll have an innate understanding of Gemini's mental nature. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are similarly energetic and can match well with our Gemini friends.

Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is the planet of communication, language, and travel. Mercury is named for the only Roman god who could travel freely between the underworld and the heavens, explaining Gemini's desire to maneuver between realms, chat with all kinds of folks, and run after their curiosities. Gemini is represented by two people talking back and forth (the twins) in constant conversation, further reinforcing that this is a social sign with an affinity for gossip and a strong need for mental and physical stimulation. As an air sign, Gemini is also associated with the mind and knowledge. Geminis form connections through dialogue, communication, debate, and questions. Like the ever-curious child constantly asking Why?, Geminis like to pick things apart to understand them. They're also verbal wizards, tending to have a knack for relating to people through language and maneuvering seamlessly between social spheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, Gemini season happens when spring is turning to summer. It's a transitional period, and this is a movable, flexible sign that likes to multitask. Learn more about what 2022 has in store for Gemini in our annual astrology forecast.
