Once Derek Jeter joins the crew, the Yankees will be done retiring numbers for their dynasty era stars. They haven't gone more than ten years between ceremonies since 1969, so someone has to be next. Will that someone be A-Rod?
This weekend, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte became the 20th and 21st players to have their uniform numbers retired by the New York Yankees. At some point next year when the team feels it needs a sell-out, Derek Jeter will become the 22nd entrant to that moderately exclusive group. That will leave the Yankees with twice as many retired jerseys as any other team in baseball and a question on where to go next once all the arguably deserving members of their 90's dynasty clubs have been honored.
