The Next Retired Yankee Number?

[BINGLEBOP]

I asked this question once, and although it's not in danger of happening anytime soon, what would happen if a team ran out of numbers (having retired so many)? The Yankees have a lot of numbers retired, so would they use letters on the uniforms if that happened?

Triple digit numbers or fractions.

Aaron Boone.

Boone played one year and will never have his jersey retired.

How 'bout Bill Buckner?

[RickD]

Ha Ha....not for the Yanks but maybe for the Mets!

Bucky Dent

It would have happened by now....I don't see it happening for guys who achieved one highlight in their career but more for the guys who epitomized the "Yankee" spirit.

Williams, Jeter, Posada, Goose, Rivera type guys.....

Maybe Cano... I hope.
