Answer 2

A super interesting question! But totally difficult. I've spent a LOT of time searching for your answer, and trying all the keyword searches -- tough find.

The guy who wrote about the NY Yankees website is partially correct -- it has the current uniform numbers. That's easy. But unless you have a photographic memory, there's no way you can recall the obscure stuff.

Derek Jeter, for example, wears the same uni (#2) that Mark Koenig wore. Longtime third-base coach Frankie Crosetti also wore #2. And Gary Sheffield (#11) sports the same jersey worn by Hector Lopez, a pinch-hit specialist on the championship Yankees teams of the early 1960s.

Joe Torre (#6) has the familiar number worn by Yankee favorite Roy White, who played during the 1970s, including a few World Series championships. #6 was also Mickey Mantle's rookie number.

A-Rod wears the same number as the "King" -- Jim Leyritz, who had an epic HR in the 1996 World Series win.

Super-sub Andy Phillips wears #12 -- Billy Martin's rookie number, as well as Charlie Keller's from 1945-1948, Tanyon Sturtze (#56) wears the same uni as Jim Bouton did. Bouton wrote Ball Four and also gave us the Big League chew shredded gum. Bubba Crosby (#19) is wearing Whitey Ford's rookie uni.

And, since we gotta bring this to an end -- Jason Giambi wears #25 for two reasons. He preferred #16 but it was retired, so he chose 25 because those numbers (2 + 5) add up to #7.

And we all know who wore #7.

Answer 3

Go to www.yankees.com and look at the ROSTER tab...it will give you all the #'s & positions.

Most of the significant #'s that the Yankees of old wore, are retired now. #2 will be retired one day (Jeter) and #6 (Torre) will as well. That means that #'s 1 - 10 will all be gone.

But any significant Yankee has already had his # retired at this point.
