Casey Stengel's number as a player was 1, and as a manager, he wore number 37 for the New York Yankees and number 30 for the New York Mets.
I think The New York yankees is the best team.

Anybody. Ages ago players were numbered only 1-11, but now anyone can have whatever number they like, eg. Pepe Reina wears number 25 for Liverpool, David Beckham used to wear the number 23 for Real Madrid.
Brian Roberts, Kosuke Fukadome, Emilio Bonifocio, and Louis Castillo The most important is Ozzie Smith but obviously he is retired!
I only know of one: Lou Whitaker
Depending on their position, players in the NFL can wear numbers ranging from 1 to 99. The NFL no longer allows 0 or 00 to be used by players.
10, nine on defense and 1 hitting.
Anyone can wear the number 1 on their jerseys. If only the players who were truly #1, and the number really determined how good the player, Gilbert Arenas, one of the best ballers in the history, would be 0 good. So, anybody can have the number 1. The jersey number doesn't determine the player's abilities or potential.

It is quite rare that you will see forwards wearing numbers 1-8 or defenseman who wear numbers 9-28. Goalies traditionally wear the number 1 or numbers in the 30's, but there are exceptions, as it is not a written rule. In minor hockey and junior hockey teams players are restricted to only a few jersey numbers, usually 1-31. Most defensemen are restricted to numbers 2-8, while the forwards can choose from number 9-29. The numbers 1, 30, and 31 are usually reserved for goaltenders. It's not related to their positions as it is in football. Players can wear any number from 1-98 nowadays.
