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

    Something like this would be reported by many other sources.

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

    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.....
