The Yankees finally issued jersey number 21 to a player this offseason. The coveted number once worn by the great Paul O’ Neill is going to be worn by new Yankee Morgan Ensberg this year. Many thought that number 21 would be retired by the Yanks, but it doesn’t look like it will happen soon. It’s still possible though, I certainly hope so as O’ Neill was great for the team especially during the World Series’ runs. One of the problems with retiring O’ Neill’s number (or anyone’s really) is that the Yanks already have 15 retired numbers and they are already limited at times. That’s a problem only the greatest team in baseball would have :)
