For the first time in the storied history of the New York Yankees, a player will officially wear No, 0. Recent free agent signee and Brooklyn-native, Adam Ottavino, will don the final available single digit on a pinstriped jersey.
While many believed that Derek Jeter would be the last Yankee ever to wear a single number, causing some curmudgeons to take umbrage with Ottavino’s request for zero — general manager, Brian Cashman told Andrew Marchand of ESPN back in 2017, that he had no problem with a member of his club wearing the digit.
