Uniform Number History

In this section, I have put together the player history of every uniform number in team history. This was pieced together with my own notes in the 10 years or so, plus old media guides, programs, and Internet research. I believe I've got everything from the actual season from 1972 to current. I definitely have players covered, but coaches are harder to find info for as I go backwards in history. I have the vast majority of the time covered, but if you know of a hole that I don't have info for, I'd love to have that information. However, I would prefer that if you are offering help that you have proof of what you're submitting. I really don't want a submission like "I'm pretty sure 'Player X' wore this number in 1978". I want some concrete proof of submissions. A few notes about this section:

• I do not have information from the franchise's existance as the Washington Senators. I just got a resource for uniform numbers with the Rangers years as the Senators from 1961-1971. I'll be incorporating that into the site. When I'm done, I'll remove this message.
• I'm not counting spring training numbers before 2002 because I don't have access to that info. If I had it, I would use it.
• In some cases, I will carry spring training uniform numbers here and there with the notation (st) after them.
• Where relevant (or where I have good pictures), I will try and include some pictures of people wearing the uniform numbers.
• I'm not counting the replacement players from Spring of 1995. While I would have loved to have seen them play, and use their numbers, info on them is hard to come by.
• The single digit uniform numbers are listed here as 01, 02, etc, to keep them in the correct display numerical order. As actually worn, they were 1, 2, etc.
