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.

Phillies, Red Sox Look to Keep Recovering from Poor Starts: A Fan's Take (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
Fri, 18 May 2012 06:40:00 PDT
The Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox are used to being the top teams in their respective leagues. Yet Phillies fans like myself are having a hard time seeing this once powerful team fall to last place in the NL East. However, the Red Sox can relate due to their own rollercoaster slide to last in the AL East.

The Juice: Brandon Beachy bolsters ERA lead with complete game shutout, O’s stay atop the AL East (Big League Stew)
Fri, 18 May 2012 05:55:20 PDT
The Juice is back for its fifth season of fun! Stop by each weekday for an ample serving of news from the action, plus great photos, stats and video highlights. Go the Distance : Atlanta Braves pitcher Brandon Beachy put Fredi Gonzalez in a little bit of a bind after throwing 110 pitches over eight scoreless innings on Thursday night. Should the Braves manager call it a night for the 25-year-old arm or should he let Beachy enter the ninth for a chance at the first complete game of his career? Gonzalez ultimately decided on the latter and Beachy did not disappoint, needing only 12 more pitches to seal a 7-0 shutout victory over the Miami Marlins at Turner Field. ''Roger (McDowell) and I were hanging on every pitch,'' Gonzalez said. ''You want the kid to be successful. You want him to have the complete game. You want him to have the shutout, but you want to keep him healthy.'' Beachy's scoreless scoresheet allowed him to drop his major-league best ERA from 1.60 to 1.33. The right-hander has won five straight decisions for the Braves and one would think that he's closing in on the first All-Star appearance of his career. O, Mama! : Another morning, another opportunity to see the Baltimore Orioles atop the AL East standings. The early surprise team of 2012 moved to 25-14 with a 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Adam Jones hit his 13th homer of the season as the O's turn toward a DC-Baltimore rarity — a relevant interleague series between the Orioles and Nationals. (Washington fell 5-3 to Pittsburgh on Thursday, but sit in second place in the NL East with a 23-15 record.)

Brian McNamee, Clemens's former trainer, faced unrelenting cross-examination about his role in the star pitcher's alleged use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. But while admitting he had delayed handing over evidence of an alleged injection and lied about how many times he had given Clemens shots, McNamee repeatedly told jurors in U.S. ...
