I think it is because of 9/11 I was watching a game yesterday, the cubs and reds were both wearing red hats! That's just what I think though!
No player yet, also no player has ever wore number 97
Mariano Rivera is the current player and will be the last player on the Yankees to wear number 42. The number was retired throughout baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson. The players who were wearing that number when it was retired were allowed to keep it.

Unless a current player already wearing the number; if a number is retired by the franchise, no player in that franchise can wear that jersey number and if the jersey number is retired by the league no one can wear that number again in the league. for example, no one in MLB can wear 42 because of Jackie Robinson except Mariano Rivera because he already wore the number before it was retired.
yes unless its already taken in the team he or she is moving toAnother answer:If a player wants to wear a number that is already taken, it is common to literally "buy" the number from the other player (if he is willing to sell it and take a new number - he is under no obligation to do so).There is another exception: the number a player wants to wear must fall within the range of numbers designated for the position being played.
Just about every team has a player with the number 5, normally a wing-defender.
