The Yankees have retired sixteen numbers to date: 1 - Billy Martin 3 - Babe Ruth 4 - Lou Gehrig 5 - Joe DiMaggio 7 - Mickey Mantle 8 - Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra (number retired after Berra's retirement). 9 - Roger Maris 10 - Phil Rizzuto 15 - Thurman Munson 16 - Whitey Ford 23 - Don Mattingly 32 - Elston Howard 37 - Casey Stengel 42 - Jackie Robinson (while Robinson did not play for the Yankees all 30 MLB teams have 'retired' the number. Mariano Rivera currently wears it and when he retires, it will probably be retired for him as well as Robinson). 44 - Reggie Jackson 49 - Ron Guidry

MLB has retired one number, the #42 of Jackie Robinson.

Individual teams have retired numbers, but none are recognized by the rest of the league.

For example, no one on the St. Louis Cardinals can wear Bob Gibson's retired #45, but no one in the league can wear the MLB's retired #42.

what is said up there is not true. mariano rivera where's #42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but Rivera was wearing #42 when they retired it. He was grandfathered in.

Number retired in 1979. #16 Whitey Ford Number retired in 1974. #23 Don Mattingly Number retired in 1997. #32Elston Howard Number retired in 1984. #36 Casey Stengel Number retired in 1970. #44 Reggie Jackson Number retired in 1993. #49 Ron Guidry Number retired in 2003. Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams in honor of Jackie Robinson. Mariano Rivera still wears this number, and I'm sure number 42 will also be retired in his name.
