Those aren’t uniform numbers. Ruth wore number 3 and Gehrig #4, for starters. Koenig never wore 7. There also was no one with the high double digit and triple digit numbers shown below. And importantly, per Baseball Reference, the Tigers didn’t wear numbers on their uniforms until 1931. Those look like the numbers which correspond to the electric scoreboard tracking of the day.
