Retired Yankee Numbers

When the New York Yankees move into their brand new stadium in 2009, they’ll be bringing no shortage of history and tradition with them. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, just about everyone has strong feelings about the Bronx Bombers, and leaving The House That Ruth Built will stir plenty of emotion in New York City and beyond.

Not surprisingly, a team with such a rich tradition of success has employed a legend or two along the way. In all, 16 players who actually wore the pinstripes have had their number retired, including Yogi Berra and Bill Dickey, who share No. 8.

Who are the rest?

Check out the list:

1 - Billy Martin
3 - Babe Ruth
4 - Lou Gehrig
5 - Joe DiMaggio
7 - Mickey Mantle
