Quite a few Yankees actually wore 12.
Gil McDougal wore it from 1951-1960. Wade Boggs wore it from 1993-1997.
Ron Blomberg wore it as the very first designated hitter. Roger Clemens briefly wore it in 1999 as an inverse of his old #21 before deciding it was bad luck. Herb Pennock wore it in his two last seasons for the Yankees. As a rookie, Billy Martin wore 12. The first to wear #12 was Waite Hoyt in 1929. Also, out of Charlie Keller's seven Yankee numbers, this was the number that was second most likely to be on his back.
