It's a way to help identifiy the player. In the old days of Baseball, names weren't used on the backs of uniforms, and the only way you were able to identify most players were by numbers and scorecards. Numbers tend to be chosen by the players themselves or assigned by the teams if they have no preference. Teams started wearing numbers in the 1920's to help the people in the stands tell who was who. (I've read that the Sporting News was against it because they thought people would stop buying scorecards.) Nowadays numbers have no intrinsic meaning, but originally they just used 1-9 in lineup order. So, for example, Babe Ruth was #3 and Lou Gehrig was #4 because Ruth batted third and Gehrig batted fourth. They didn't stick to that idea very long, tough.
Here is a list of Baseball Uniform Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,......... Sorry I had to do that it was just to tempting.
The first 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.
in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to 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.
Visible from long distances, the numbers made it easier for fans to distinguish players from their seats, and easier for play-by-play radio announcers to identify players during their broadcasts.
Other teams soon followed, and by 1932, every one of the 16 major league teams featured numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Many Players have had their uniform number retired by their respective teams. Once a uniform number is retired that number could no longer be worn by another player from that team.
April 15, 1997 Major League Baseball retired Jackie Robinson's uniform number 42. From that point on the number 42 cannot be issued or worn by another Major league player from any team. The one exception is Mariano Rivera who already had the number, and will be the last player to wear the number 42. If you search for a player on Baseball-Almanac.com you could find the uniform numbers that player wore during his carrer year by year. -Steven KeyMan
