Mantle was given Bobby Brown's #6 and when Brown returned from military duty he wanted back his old #6.

When Cliff Mapes joined the Yankees in 1947 he wore #47 and in 1948, Mapes wore #3 until the Yankees fi-
nally retired Ruth's uniform #3. Then Mapes was given #7......so, Mapes wore two great HOFer's uniform #s.

Joe DiMaggio's first unifom # was 9.
