Originally wanted to confine this list to hall of famers but until Dave Concepcion is FINALLY admitted or Omar Vizquel retires, there is no #13. ---

> [@Sparky812](#): > > Interesting trivia, although we’ll never get to it, Jackie Robinson’s #42 was retired by MLB for all teams. Except for players who were already wearing 42 when they retired it; there is still one active player who has it. I wonder if the team will one day retire it to honor both Jackie and Mariano Rivera. ---

[quote=“Sparky812, post:10383, topic:549173”] Err…Reggie Jackson was #9, (or #44 with the Yankees, also retired) besides how could you not love The Kid. Yikes. What a bonehead. Got ahead of myself. Meant to go with Morgan for #8. I also apologize for botching the quotes. I am a novice. ---

I wonder if the team will one day retire it to honor both Jackie and Mariano Rivera. There is a slight difference, in Mariano Rivera’s case, if they were to retire his number, it would only be presumeably by the Yankees. MLB annouced the retiring of the number for the league. Basically, no one league-wide will ever wear #42 again. ---

Basically, no one league-wide will ever wear #42 again. I thought that I was making that very point, but on review, it seems that I did not. ---
