New York Yankees Uniform Number 45The first Baseball team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived.

in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to the backs of their jerseys. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup. For example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth.

Noted Yankee players that have worn the number 45 include; the recently departed Carl Pavano, Ted Lilly, Cecil Fielder, and current Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Here is a list of Yankee players that wore uniform number 45.

The first baseball team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived.

in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to the backs of their jerseys. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup.for example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth.

High numbers like number 50 are issued to rookie players or players that are not expected to make the team. Some players choose to keep the number. Chris Chambliss picked number 50 when he was named as coach for the Yankees in 1988. Here is a complete list of Yankee players that wore uniform number 50. * Gil Downs * Rich Beck * Ken Clay * Bill Burbach * Alan Closter * Marty Bystrom * Alan Mills * Steve Balboni * Eddie Napoleon (Coach) * James Austin * Jay Ward * Oscar Azocar * Robert Eenhorn * Jay Howell * Bill Bryan * Jack Cullen * Don Zimmer (Coach) * Todd Erdos * Lance McCullers * John Pacella * Tom Nieto * Rich Monteleone (Coach) * Ralph Houk (Part of 1947) * Doc Medich (1972) * Chris Chambliss (1988; coach 1988, 1996-1997) * Matt Lawton (2005)
