The number that has been retired by the most teams, other than #42, is #20 which has been retired by 9 teams ... Reds (Frank Robinson), Orioles (also Frank Robinson), Dodgers (Don Sutton), Giants (Monte Irvin), Cardinals (Lou Brock), Royals (Frank White), Phillies (Mike Schmidt), Diamondbacks (Luis Gonzalez), and Pirates (Pie Traynor).
