Who was the first major league baseball player to wear a number on his uniform?
The answer to this question would have to be what team wore the first uniform numbers on their jersey, because no single player wore a number first without the rest of the team. If you want to consider the first player to come to bat with a uniform number as the first then it would be Earle Combs of the New York Yankees.Although the Cleveland Indians were the first team to experiment with wearing numbers on their sleeves in 1916, it was not until 1929 when the Yankees were the first team to wear numbers on their backs on a regular basis. I cannot find any information on the numbers the Cleveland Indians wore.Numbers were first given out to players as to their position in the batting order. For example Babe Ruth batted third in the line up, and wore number 3, Lou Gehrig wore number 4 as he batted fourth. Earle Combs batted first, and wore the number 1.
