The answer to this question would have to be what team wore the first uniform numbers on their jersey, because no single player wore a number first without the rest of the team. If you want to consider the first player to come to bat with a uniform number as the first then it would be Earle Combs of the New York Yankees.Although the Cleveland Indians were the first team to experiment with wearing numbers on their sleeves in 1916, it was not until 1929 when the Yankees were the first team to wear numbers on their backs on a regular basis. I cannot find any information on the numbers the Cleveland Indians wore.Numbers were first given out to players as to their position in the batting order. For example Babe Ruth batted third in the line up, and wore number 3, Lou Gehrig wore number 4 as he batted fourth. Earle Combs batted first, and wore the number 1.

Players did not yet wear uniform numbers when Joe Jackson Played baseball. 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. It was not until 1929 when the Cleveland Indians, and the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers on 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.

I could not find any Detroit Tiger players that wore uniform number 44.
Mickey Vernon played for the Indians in the 1949 season and the first 28 games of the 1950 season and also in the 1958 season. In 1949 and 1950 Vernon wore #3 and in 1958 he wore #8.
