Eleven great baseball players are profiled in this collective biography which focuses on the career of individuals who made the number they wore on their uniform one to remember. The number an athlete wears can become iconic if the player becomes a legend in the sport they play. In 1929, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians led the way in putting numbers on their baseball teams' uniforms. Some numbers hold a special place in the history of the game.
