Yankees seek solution to uniform number shortage for coaches and managers.

The New York Yankees' success has led to the retirement of so many uniform numbers that the team is running out of numbers to give to players and coaches. The Yankees have retired 22 numbers, well ahead of the second-place Cardinals, who have retired 14. The lack of numbers left over has become such an issue for the Yankees that they have started a conversation about no longer issuing uniform numbers to managers and coaches, and it’s gaining momentum in clubhouses around the game.
