| 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?
