	Whereas I didn't realize so many famous baseball players were on the Yankees. Of course, I still only got 2, but I'm not the sports type. Cool quiz, though.

	The only other pro sports teams that would make sense would be the Celtics and maybe the Canadiens. No other MLB team has more than 10 retired numbers.

	Salukimars:	Oct 10th, 2008 at 13:49 GMT	3 points
	The Cardinals, Dodgers and Giants each have 10.

	to anyone not a yankee's fan (there are some of us out there, shock, i know) the year means nothing... i'm way more likely to randomly guess ron guidry than know his number or especially the year it was retired

	Just wondering why Yankee haters are even stupid enough to take this quiz, if they hate the Yankees so much. By the way, we Yankee fans always tell everyone what team we love first, rather than the one(s) that we hate. We're better fans than that.

	They should have retired cardinals, giants, and dodgers game here

	they could easily do this for college basketball programs. unc, maryland, duke, uconn, ucla and kansas all have more than ten.

	They retired Billy Martin's number, but not Joe McCarthy's who managed them to 7 World Series??

	Chris:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 20:24 GMT	3 points
	mccarthy should be retired. interestingly, miller huggins has a plaque in monument park but his number is not retired.. billy martin is retired due to his contributions as a player, as well as a manager. upon their retirement, jeter (2) and torre (6) will likely be retired as well, leaving no more single digit numbers available! mariano rivera's 42 will be retired no doubt, giving the yankees two #42's, as well as two #8's. interesting trivia tidbit there. others who could arguably be retired are bobby richardson, red ruffing, jack chesbro, bernie williams (most postseason homers, etc), lefty gomez, and maybe earle combs? comments welcome!

	@Mark and Chris: McCarthy declined to wear a number, and I would assume that's the reason Huggins doesn't have a retired number, either, given that he has a monument.

	GeoExpert:	Jul 27th, 2009 at 22:50 GMT	-2 points
	I don't understand why MLB still lets Mariano Rivera to wear #42 if it is retired league-wide.

	Ken_From_MD13:	Jul 29th, 2009 at 04:43 GMT	6 points
	when the league retired 42 for Robinson is grandfathered all current 42s. I guess BUD figured it was a "learning moment" & living honor. I think MO is the last active 42.

	TheJoker:	Aug 11th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	3 points
	@Ken...You are correct, there were 5 players who wore 42 when it was retired including Mo Vaughn and Rivera

	Just a touch disappointed that "Louisiana Lightning" didn't work :)

	Don Mattingly was good and all but retired his number? Come on now. Gonna run out at this rate.

	airforcefoo:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 18:40 GMT	3 points
	Well, the Yankees have been around for about 100 years and there are still 83 possibilities for a 25-man team, so I think they're going to be ok. Mattingly absolutely deserved to have his jersey retired.

	of course, i had to mispell berra (bera)

	So apparently if you're a Yankee pitching a perfect game in the World Series doesn't guarantee that you'll get your number retired.

	It's a shame that the Yankees didn't retire Tino Martinez's number. His number would be retired if he hadn't played the first 5 or 6 years of his career with Seattle.
