There has been a rules modification made in the original post. Going forward no more than three players for each number will be posted. Editing of the list is based on votes when possible. The players listed are subject to change if a case is made for replacing one currently on the list. The goal is to identify the best player for each number. If you can make a case for adding Harmon Killebrew over Babe Ruth, please do so. If you cannot, Killebrew will not be added to the list. Similarly it was never my intent to identify the best 50 players to wear #7. If your nominee is not in the discussion with Mantle for some reason, he will not be listed.
Ultimately there will be only one listed at each number.
An update has been posted and many fine nominations have been eliminated from the list, at least for now.
