The Yankees released their new numbers. With 84 players in camp, retired numbers, soon to be retired numbers, and coaches there was a chance they would go to triple digits. Unfortunately they just doubled up on a few players.
Here are the notable new numbers:
• No. 22 – Matt Diaz, No. 27 - Dan Johnson, No. 33 - Travis Hafner, No. 36 - Kevin Youkilis, No. 45 - Bobby Wilson, and No. 54 - Juan Rivera.
• Nos. 87-99 are doubled up. The only player among that group to even have a chance of making the team is No. 95 - Ronnier Mustelier, who shares his number with Zach Nuding.
Check out the complete list here.
Gonna be weird seeing Hafner instead of Swisher with 33 on his back
Don't worry. Hafner will be on the DL so much that you won't actually see much of that "33" on his back.
It's gonna be 36. It says so on the Yankee website and I think Wally Matthews tweeted that out like a day or 2 after he signed. I swear to God, this blog is stuck like 2 days in the past.
I wasn't actually asking a question. I was making a SEO friendly headline. If you took the time to read about 3 sentences in you would have realized this. Sorry for any confusion.
