I think your site is correct about Manny wearing 28 for the Dodgers. If I remember correctly he had an ill fitting uni for one or 2 games, and wore 28. By the way I love this site and the addition of the uniform number is awesome.!!

Also, I LOVE that you have the retired numbers on the "Team Encyclopedia" pages. Any chance you could have a list on that page of what the team's colors were from what year to what year? (Specifically shown as those neat little circles?)

Awesome guys. I was permanently hooked on basketball-reference.com when they added the uniform numbers, and was always slightly disappointed this site didn't have it. So thank you for making my day 🙂

A few corrections I notice, these are all based on my memory which is usually pretty OCD on these things.

Mark Sagmoen wore Number 42 for the Rangers very briefly as he was just called up to the Rangers days before that number was retired for Jackie Robinson.

Tom Brookens wore #5 for the Tigers until he gave it up to be retired fin honor of Hank Greenberg

Bill Denehy DID NOT wear #4 for the Mets in 1967. Ron Swoboda is correctly shown wearing that number. I believe that Denehy wore 44, but I wouldn't bet more than a 6-pack on it.

Shane Victorino wore 18 in 2006, but I'm not sure is he wore 18 in 2005 also. I know he switched to 8 in 2007. Here is a pic of the Phillies lineup from the Phillies-Mets game on May 25, 2006:

It might be hard to read, but Victorino was wearing 18. I also have a Victorino shirt with the number 18.

I'd like to have a list of the uniform numbers that Ken Griffey Jr.has worn year to year. Thanks.

Love the uniform numbers! Mike Morgan's page looks like a NASCAR race.

Sorry, Sean, I did not check back right away. I know you said you figured out where, but just for the record here's an example:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/HOU/1999-roster.shtml

Jeff Bagwell's salary is listed as $6,500,000.00, rather than $6,500,000. I think the latter makes more sense, since we're talking millions of dollars.

In reference to Tom's wish for coaches' and managers' numbers, I had just been planning to ask if coaching staffs might be included on the team roster pages.

Some annecdotal info is included in bullpen biographical data, but I love to be able to trace where many oldtimers ended up after their playing days ended.

Also, the Minor League data is a big help. Again, being able to track those old ballplayers after they were cut from the Big League roster is neat.

I love the 10 for 10 features thus far. As a Strat-O-Matic gamer, I like to having access to the lineup info when I play the earlier seasons. The second 10 for 10 installment was Heaven for me.

More complete transaction data would also be nice (DL moves, etc.).
