By all teams?
Jackie Robinson, he was also the olny player to ever have his number retired by all 30 teams.
I think the first player to ever have his number retired by a team is Lou Gherig who has his number retired on July 4th 1939 on ''Lou Gherig'' day when he made his quote 'I am the luckiest man in the world.''

Lou Gehrig's number 4 was the first to be retired.
