New York Yankees Visit the Yankee's offical website

In 1929, the New York Yankees became the first team to make numbers a permanent part of the uniform. Other teams quickly adopted the idea and, by 1932, uniform numbers became standard for all teams. The initial distribution of numbers on the Yankees was made according to the player’s position in the batting order.

Yankee Stadium is one of the most famous ballparks in the world. Some of the most famous baseball players of all time have plaques out in center field in the memorial at Yankee Stadium. During the first visit to North America by a Pope, Paul VI celebrated mass before a crowd in excess of 80,000. Fourteen years later, John Paul II also made Yankee Stadium a stop on his tour of the United States.
