Mariano Rivera is the current player and will be the last player on the Yankees to wear number 42. The number was retired throughout Baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson. The players who were wearing that number when it was retired were allowed to keep it.

Was there a New York Yankees player in the 1930s or 1940s by the name of Visca?

Baseball Almanac.com does not show anybody named Visca that has ever played in the majors, and this site is very thorough. Though there was no Visca that ever played for the Yankees or in baseball for that matter. There was a player named Vic Raschi who pitched for the Yankees from '46-'53.
