*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.
**Michael R. from Irvine, 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.
