So the number 13 keeps coming up....the clock, the letters in names etc etc....but I'm trying to remember when we first see the number 13 in the book. I can't find it. Anyone else know?

The first time I picked up on it was on page 102 where Nick says "My father's name was James Costanza, Jimmy Costanza--add the letters and you get thirteen." But I feel like 13 must have popped up before this...
I think it is but I'm not sure it actually is mentioned in the book, but the first important instance of 13 in the book is Ralph Branca's jersey number (which he briefly switched to 12 after the Shot heard round the world) (factoid courtesy of wikipedia).
