Believe it or not, this topic can generate some hot debate. Which players deserve the honor? And that is where the debate begins. The Yankees have by far the most retired numbers, 21. Number 8 and 42 are retired honoring two different players. 42 for Robinson and Rivera. 8 for Dickey and Berra. As we all know, 42 is retired throughout baseball.
The Dodgers have 10 retired numbers, 1,2,4,19,20,24,32,39,42 and 53. For Reese, Lasorda, Snider, Gilliam, Sutton, Alston, Koufax, Campy, Robinson, and Big D.
Usually, that is where the debate begins. Who else in Dodger history rates a retired number?
