Technically speaking, one player from each team can be given a unique number.

Since there are 30 baseball teams in Major League Baseball (MLB),

that would mean only 30 players at a given time and wear #1.

---- Seven teams have retired the #1, so the answer is really 23.

The teams that have retired #1:

* Boston Red Sox for Bobby Doerr * St. Louis Cardinals for Ozzie Smith * Cincinnati Reds for Fred Hutchinson * New York Yankees for Billy Martin * Pittsburgh Pirates for Billy Mayer * Los Angeles Dodgers for Pee Wee Reese * Philadelphia Phillies for Richie Ashburn
