Yankees soon to have no uniform numbers left

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The Yankees are retiring three more numbers this season: Andy Pettitte (46), Jorge Posada (20) and Bernie Williams (51). Add to that the certain retirement of Derek Jeter's #2 (the last single digit number that was in active use by the club) and they will have retired 20 numbers overall. All three players will have plaques added in Monument Park, along with Willie Randolph.

They need to change this system. It's just a number. It holds none of the weight the actual name does.

[Tank]

they seem to be getting a bit less picky in which numbers they decide to retire. maybe that's a better place to start.

[OregonLAA]

Maybe they'll go to negative numbers and triple digits soon

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I was thinking square roots, and maybe some of the retired numbers squared or cubed.

[Tank]

i think they've retired one of their numbers twice (8?).

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Yes. #8 was worn by both Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra.

[Ohtaniland]

Angels should hurry up and retire Fabregas #14

I guess that happens when you win 27 times

It might be time for the Yankees to begin using irrational numbers.

 

It makes sense with Arod returning this year.

[Lhalo]

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Jorge Posada.

Hmmmmmmm. Which one doesn't fit?

[NJHalo]

Shelly Duncan is next to be honored.

[QuinlansMinion]

They're retiring and honoring a known PED user?  Omg thats not allowed!  Someone call the authorities!

"Now batting for the Yankees, number Pi..."

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Jorge Posada.

Hmmmmmmm. Which one doesn't fit?

 

Posada, because he wasn't a raging alcoholic.

[NJHalo]

I say go with Roman Numerals

Scioscia would be the Big XIV

The Yankees don't put names on their jerseys.

 

Not the point I was trying to make.

[CaliAngel]

I couldn't care less about anything Yankee related.

[Butcher'd]

I don't think Bernie Williams is particularly deserving.

 

And I'm surprised they're retiring those 3 before Jeter.

 

**** the Yankees though

[Lou]

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Jorge Posada.

Hmmmmmmm. Which one doesn't fit?

 

racist

did someone say anything about PEDs?

[Section517]

In the not so distant future, the fat kid (Jeffrey Mayer) will get a plaque in Monument Park for his part in helping the Yankees beat the Orioles which eventually led to them to the 96 World Series.  That dude has to be the anti-Bartman in New York being celebrated to this day and bagging all the white, pasty broads.

[Second Base]

The'll start using letters soon.

This next hitter is brought to you by the letter h.
