This came up in live trivia this past week. Nobody got all eight but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the sports trivia folks here know all of them.

Eight MLB players have had their uniform numbers retired by more than one major league team for which they played. Name them.

(Bonus: This specific wording disqualifies Jackie Robinson, whose #42 has been retired by every team, as he only played for the Dodgers. It also eliminates one other person. Who?)

Without googling...I would say Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Greg Maddux, Carlton Fisk....hmmm, Rod Carew? A good question.

Wish we got some sports-related multiple answer-type questions in the live trivia we play every other week. We only get one per game, and it's the last question. Usually rather tough, too. It cost us the game two weeks ago. :x :mrgreen:

Possibly Casey Stengel?

I think Rollie Fingers was retired by more than one team too.

I believe Casel Stengel's number was retired as a manager..not a player

Yes, thats what I meant. Casy Stengel would be the one other person eliminated whose # was retird by more than one team but not as a player, as I think his# was retired from the MEts as a manager

Don't forget the last one Frank Robinson.

Y'all got 'em all. Well done.

And yes, Stengel had his number retired by both the Mets and the Yankees as a manager.

D'OH!

Fingers? That surprises me a bit, although I guess it makes sense.

Shouldn't Harold Baines qualify since his number was retired by the White Sox twice? (Not technically, but he came back & played for the Pale Hose after his number was initially retired)
