The New York Yankees were the first team to begin regularly wearing uniform numbers. A tradition dating back to 1929.
Other teams before 1929 tried putting numbers on their
uniforms, but mostly on an experimental only basis, usually
not lasting longer than a season or sometimes even past a
few games. The Yankees were the first to implement
uniform numbers and maintain the practice indefinitely.
This website attempts to make it easy to find who wore what
numbers in what year since they began wearing numbers in
1929. It's not 100% complete, so if
there's any information you can help with, please feel

Yankees trade for slugger Berkman, reliever Wood (AP) Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:48:25 PDT Lance Berkman is ready for the expectations that go with wearing the pinstripes. The New York Yankees sent reliever Mark Melancon and minor league infielder Jimmy Paredes to Houston on Saturday for the five-time All-Star first baseman, who will become the Yankees' designated hitter.

Blue Jays all talk, no action at deadline (The Canadian Press) Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:43:23 PDT TORONTO - A key tenet of Alex Anthopoulos's approach in running the Toronto Blue Jays is creating options for himself, and it's because nothing was forcing his hand that he stood pat as Saturday's non-waiver trade deadline came and went.

Yankees acquire Kerry Wood from Indians (AP) Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:48:27 PDT The New York Yankees acquired pitcher Kerry Wood from the Cleveland Indians on Saturday, the third deal in less than 24 hours for the World Series champions as they beefed up for the stretch run. Wood, a hard-throwing, 33-year-old righty, gives the Yankees another setup option alongside Joba Chamberlain for closer Mariano Rivera.
The Yankees made one trade official Friday night, but it was the one that will become official Saturday that would appear to be the most impactful.
New York added outfielder Austin Kearns on Friday, helping its bench and sending a player to be named or cash to the Indians for the right-handed hitter.
The Yankees were also on the verge of acquiring first baseman Lance Berkman from the Astros, though that deal couldn't be completed until Saturday because any trade involving a 10-and-5 player (10 years in the league, five with one club) is subject to a 24-hour waiting period.
Berkman is expected to see most of his at-bats as the Yankees' designated hitter, though catcher Jorge Posada will continue to occasionally serve as the DH, especially against lefties.
TORONTO - On another night of swirling will he stay or will he go drama, Toronto Blue Jays right-fielder Jose Bautista provided both his current employers and potential suitors more reason to covet his services.
