[edit] What is the lowest number that has never been retired?
Cool trivia question. What is the lowest number that has never been retired? Answer: 13....then come 28 and 38. 43 made this list until the A's retired it for Dennis Eckersley.
- Actually the number 0 is the lowest jersey number to never be retired. It was worn by Junior Ortiz and possibly some other players as well. You can win some bets as well by then asking what the smallest positive jersey number worn in the major leagues but not yet retired is, and technically be right by saying 1/8, the number worn by Eddie Gaedel in his only plate appearance.

[edit] One more sort needed
Could somebody also list the retired players by teams? It would be interesting to see which teams have retired the most numbers. Unschool 00:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 6 * 9 == ?
42. This page says that *the league* retired 42 in honor of Robinson. Jackie Robinson says that *the teams in the league* all retired it, which isn't quite the same thing. MLB's page on it isn't sufficiently informative to clear it up. Anyone got a more detailed source? --Baylink 20:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
