The New York Yankees were the first team to begin regularly wearing uniform numbers. A tradition dating back to 1929. Other teams before 1929 tried putting numbers on their uniforms, but mostly on an experimental only basis, usually not lasting longer than a season or sometimes even past a few games. The Yankees were the first to implement uniform numbers and maintain the practice indefinitely.

This website attempts to make it easy to find who wore what numbers in what year since they began wearing numbers in 1929. It's not 100% complete, so if there's any information you can help with, please feel free to contact me to fill in the blanks.

And you are?: Dusty Baker temporarily denied access to Yankee Stadium (Big League Stew)
Sat, 19 May 2012 07:24:27 PDT
We've seen a fairly high number of security problems at sporting events in recent weeks. That includes the incident from earlier in the week that ultimately led to a PNC Park security guard losing a finger . Not to mention the fan that ran on the field in Baltimore last month that umpire Jeff Kellogg dealt with himself , or the woman who stumbled onto the court in Denver right in the middle of an NBA playoff game. Perhaps it was with these episodes fresh in his mind that a Yankee Stadium security guard went above and beyond to deny access to a highly suspicous character wandering around the front gates while chewing on a toothpick on Friday afternoon. That's one possibility. Another is that this particular security guard hasn't seen a whole lot of baseball over the years, because the person he held in question was one of the more recognizable personalities in the game. That being Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker. Here's how Baker described the confusing confrontation just prior to the Reds 4-0 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.

The Juice: Andy Pettitte dominates in first win since 2010, Papelbon closes door on Red Sox (Big League Stew)
Sat, 19 May 2012 01:21:01 PDT
The Juice is back for its fifth season of fun! Stop by each weekday (and now on Saturdays) for an ample serving of news from the action, plus great photos, stats and video highlights. Andy is dandy: Andy Pettitte felt he was a little too "uptight" while taking the loss in his return start last Sunday afternoon. On Friday night, the 39-year-old left-hander looked nothing of the sort, allowing the Cincinnati Reds only four hits and striking out nine over eight scoreless innings in the Yankees 4-0 victory . It was the first time Pettitte had tossed eight scoreless innings since July 8, 2008, and the victory attached to this marvelous outing was his first since July 8, 2010. Love that symmetry. ''I felt like I could do this, and now it's just like I feel like the mind's getting back there,'' a beaming Pettitte said after his 241st win. ''I'm just hoping and praying the body holds up.'' I'm sure Yankees fans are doing the same, all the while wondering what might have been had Pettitte returned in 2011. Just another save: Or at least that's how Jonathan Papelbon played it off after his scoreless ninth preserved a 6-4 victory for Cole Hamels and Phillies over his former employer, the Boston Red Sox. His real motivation? Simple.
