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.

Dodgers-Yankees rained out, doubleheader set (The Associated Press)

NEW YORK (AP) -- The game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees has been postponed by rain, delaying the renewal of their old October rivalry.

Yankees injury woes continue: Kevin Youkilis needs back surgery, Mark Teixeira heads to DL (Big League Stew)
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:01:46 PDT
The injury-riddled season of the New York Yankees has gotten worse, as two more bodies were added to the stack of disabled Bronx Bombers: Kevin Youkilis needs back surgery and is out 10-12 weeks, while first baseman Mark Teixeira is back on the disabled list with wrist issues. Youkilis had already been placed on the 15-day disabled list, but the news Tuesday that he needs back surgery is much more alarming. It could very well mean we've seen the end of Youkilis in pinstipes. He was signed to a one-year deal as a replacement for hobbled Alex Rodriguez, but Youkilis already spent May on the DL with back issues. He's only played in 28 games this season. That, however, is more than Teixeira, who injured himself in the preseason and returned to play 15 games before aggravating the same wrist injury again. He's only expected to have a short 15-day DL stint. An MRI showed inflammation but no new tear in Teixeira's wrist. He's been out a few days, but was officially placed on the DL on Tuesday.

A position-by-position look at some of the greatest players in Dodgers and Yankees history (Big League Stew)
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:29:49 PDT
It took 17 seasons of interleague play and the series will last only two games, but the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are finally hooking up in the Bronx starting Tuesday night (weather permitting). It's the first time the two have met at the home of the Yankees since the 1981 World Series. The two teams started off as New York neighbors, of course, and have met in 11 World Series with the Yankees winning eight of them. They're two of baseball's most iconic franchises, so in celebration of this meeting, we're taking a position-by-position look at some of their greatest players.

Yasiel Puig takes New York: Can Puigmania take a bite out of The Big Apple? (Big League Stew)
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:41:58 PDT
The famous line from the song "New York, New York" goes: "If I can make it there / I'll make it anywhere." Los Angeles Dodgers rookie sensation Yasiel Puig has already "made it" in the sense that he's in the big leagues and crushing the ball, but his first trip to New York City will put even more of a spotlight on the 22-year-old Cuban outfielder. His Dodgers start a two-game series on Tuesday with the New York Yankees. Dodgers vs. Yankees is a big deal on its own. Add Puigmania in The Big Apple and Yankee Stadium will certainly be buzzing. As Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez can attest, being good in L.A. and being good in New York are two very different things. Puig's hitting a gaudy .479/.500/.771 after going 3-for-4 on Sunday. He's without a hit in only two of his 13 MLB games. But watch what would happen if he goes 0-for-the-series against the Yankees. The doubters of Puigmania will have a field day saying he got gobbled up by the city. And while all that remains to be seen, here's a scene from Puig's off-day in New York City on Monday. He hung out at the MLB Fan Cave and had every bit of the good time you'd expect from a 22-year-old. He played ping-pong, got a haircut, swung a huge bat, listened to Puig Destroyer , met fans and filled out an All-Star ballot. (Our own Jeff Passan says Puig deserves to be in the All-Star Game ).
