What was Babe Ruths number when he played for the Boston Red Sox?
Baseball jerseys did not have numbers when Babe Ruth played for the Red Sox (1914-1919). Babe Ruth first wore a jersey with a number (#3) in the 1929 season for the New York Yankees. Numbers originally designated the players place in the batting order. (Ruth batted 3rd in the line-up.)
How are the numbers on baseball players' jerseys determined?
When baseball uniform numbers first became common in the late 1920s, numbers were assigned based simply on the batting order: Babe Ruth wore #3 and Lou Gehrig wore #4, for example. As of today, numbers are assigned to players by teams. Players can choose an available number for just about any reason they want, or they can simply take whatever the team offers them. Teams usually just assign them randomly, although there are GENERAL rules that better players get lower numbers, pitchers always get a number over 30, and rookies get a very high number. If an existing player on a team has a number that a new player wants, the latter can only ask for it -- and, in some cases, pay for it. Teams have retired numbers as a way of saying, "Nobody else will ever be worthy of wearing the same number as this great player." The Yankees, for example, have retired 19 such numbers.
