Watched the Giants vs. Red Sox tonight. I noticed that the Red Sox had retired a lot of numbers (10). I looked it up, it was about average.
There are 16 original teams in MLB dating from the turn of the last century (Athletics, Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Indians/Guardians, Orioles, Phillies, Pirates, Red Sox, Reds, Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Yankees)
Which American League team has retired the most and fewest numbers? Which National League team has retired the most and fewest numbers? The answer is here, if you'd like to look it up: https://www.mlb.com/news/every-mlb-team-...c300753386
Just an odd aside...there were five original Hall of Fame members; Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner. Only one has not had their jersey retired by their team. Which one?
Like some teams, I don’t think the Twins acknowledge the greats from the club prior to its relocation (the A’s are in that group). Therefore, I would guess Walter Johnson.
Note: Like Christy Mathewson, I don’t believe Johnson ever had a number on his jersey. Of course, that didn’t stop SF from honoring Mathewson with a retirement disk.
