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.

The Yankees sacrificed a projected lynchpin of their future by trading big-hitting catching prospect Jesus Montero last week.

However, pitching coach Larry Rothschild is ecstatic that the return was young Seattle stud Michael Pineda, a potential front-of-the-rotation starter for years to come.

"I'm excited to get him," Rothschild told the New York Post. "He's got the tools to become an ace. He's gonna go through the same things everyone else goes through. It's not gonna happen overnight, but he has the tools to get there."

The 6-foot-7 Pineda, 23, possesses a mid-90s fastball and a biting slider, and Rothschild believes developing a changeup could make the big right-hander a force in pinstripes.

"He's a young kid with a nice arm and he has a year of experience...
