Rapids By The Numbers: #13

Now we come to unlucky 13, and 13 has been unlucky for the Rapids.  The list:

Jean Harbor (1996)
Wolde Harris (1998-1999)
Steve Shak (2001-2002)
Alberto Rizo (2003)
Wolde Harris (2005)
Cornell Glen (2006)
Stephen Keel (2007-2008)
Ross Schunk (2009-2010)
Steven Emory (2011-2012)
Kamani Kill (2021-2014)
Ben Newnam (2015)
Jermaine Jones (2016)
Sam Vines (2018-2020)


Out of this list the only national recognition was Jermaine Jones as a 2016 All-Star, and Ross Schunk wining the 2010 MLS Cup.  In the team record book Harris is 6th all time in goals, 8th all time in shots on goal, and tied for 5th in game-winning goals.  He's also tied for 3rd in multi-goal games and 4th in penalties.

That clearly gives Harris the lead on this one.  The only competition is probably Sam Vines.  A season or two from now Vines might take the edge.  Its just a bit too early to give him the nod at this point though.  Its hot to be Wolde Harris.
