Jersey numbers are synonymous with any team sport these days, but did you know they got a huge boost in popularity because of baseball? On this episode of Quick Question, we explore how jersey numbers came about in MLB and their explosion in importance to players. From Francisco Lindor to Ken Griffey Jr. to Rickey Henderson to Babe Ruth, players’ numbers have meant something throughout eras for different reasons. Also, how did the names get on the back too?
This episode was produced before protests against racial injustice began in response to the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and more. MLB is returning to previously scheduled videos, but we are committed to using this channel and the rest of our platforms to fight for change.
