The retiring of a number to honor a player likely began with the New York Yankees. The Yankees were not the first team to experiment with numbers on uniforms to identify players, but they were the first to wear numbers permanently and retired Lou Gehrig's number 4 in 1939.This book covers retired numbers in baseball's major and minor leagues. In the major league section of the book, a player's name is followed by his retired number, the name of the team that retired it, the year that it was retired, the player's primary position, and the teams he was affiliated with during his playing career. The author then presents a brief summary of the player's career and lists any major awards or honors he won. Retiring numbers in the minor leagues is a bit different; a player who excels in the minors isn't usually with a team for long because he is promoted to the majors. In the minor league section, a player's name is followed by a brief summary of his significance. After both the major and minor league sections, readers will find team-by-team and numerical lists of honored players.

Tillfälligt slut
Since 1871, more than one thousand championships have been won in the major leagues, spanning sixty distinct leagues in eleven different sports. Major League Champions presents them all: containing the complete major league championship history of baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, indoor soccer, arena football, tennis, roller hockey, indoor lacrosse, and lacrosse. From the heralded World Series, Super Bowl, and Stanley Cup, to the more obscure but no less prized Scholarship Series, Avco World Trophy, and Soccer Bowl, this book gives the reader a year by year account of championship results. The results are then followed by a list of major league champions first by year, then by league, and finally by franchise. Two sets of standings are also included in order from greatest to least. The first presents every major league champion by franchise and the second presents every city that has ever celebrated a major league championship. Second-place teams are not forgotten. Brucato recognizes the accomplishments of those teams that experienced near-misses with a section that lists every second-place team in major league history. A final section features a bibliography of sources. Spanning 130 years of major league history, this book is the ultimate source for discovering which teams throughout history have won the right to be considered the best.
