*42 - Jackie Robinson.
*In
1997, MLB retired Jackie Robinson's number 42 meaning no other
player in MLB could ever wear it. However, it was
grandfathered to anyone who was currently wearing the number. Of course, Mariano Rivera was one of those already sporting #42
and I'd say it's a good bet that #42 will be retired in honor of
Mariano when his playing days are over. When that day
comes (hopefully a while down the road), I will include #42 in
the list above. This is nothing against Jackie Robinson. The list above is only for numbers retired in honor of New York
Yankees. My site, my rules.

CA notes that #9 and #32 were planned for retirement on
Saturday, July 21, 1984 (Old-Timer's Day), but rain resulted in
a cancellation and the ceremonies were moved to the next day. |
