Rumor Did anyone hear this???

Is this a hoax or real? I saw that the Yankees might break from tradition and print names on jerseys... seems like a hoax, but didn't know if anyone else heard this...

Never heard of the page, but here is a link I saw...

With all the new players they may have to do that just so they know who is who.

...I call BS on the article...can't find any actual quotes from anyone and can't find another source anywhere backing it up.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Under the current regime nothing would surprise me.

 

[Messiah717]

Something like this would be reported by many other sources.

 

[Hammerojustice]

ok, this kinda echos what I was thinking... that it was BS, just wanted other insight. Thanks

They go to names when they run of of numbers.

Somewhere down the road I predict that the Yankees will be the first team to use 3 digits.

 

[totus44]

Now batting, number 102....Der-ek Jeet-er....the 3rd.

It's gonna' happen in time, eventually its inevitable. Or- Alpha Numeric Jersey's, now batting A-03, Derek Jeeetah...!
or numeric-alpha.

Before that's 3 digit Jersey Numbers are approved, we will have a Team eventually, with all very high numbers: #74-99, even then, with Roster Expansions in the Fall, we could see 3 digit Jersey's in the next 40-50 years, by then a bigger storm will blow over MLB, above and beyond 3 digit Jerseys, which will be Women will be accepted into MLB.....

Estrogen Manny was the closest mlb has come to women in baseball.

And right under the names will be a restaurant with the advertisement "Eat at Joe's".

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

bobsblitz seems legit....

pretty soon though they will only have names and not numbers because they will all be retired
