Before 1929 players did not wear uniform number. Babe Ruth wore jersey number 3 with the New York Yankees starting in 1929. Numbers were issued by the players place in the line up, and Ruth batted 3rd. He also wore unifom number 3 with the Boston Braves in 1935.

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.)

Players did not wear numbers on their uniform at that time. Ruth did not wear a number. Trick question.
