A lot of the Yankees have their number retired because of what they meant to the team. There are 23 numbers retired and 10 of them are not HOFers. One of the HOFers is Phil Rizzuto.
The Red Sox retired Johnny Pesky’s number.
The Angels retired Jim Fregosi’s number.
The Astros have retired 9 numbers of which 3 are HOFers.
The Guardians retired Mel Harder’s number.
There are other examples as well. It all depends on how you feel about sometimes all stars and whether you’re a fan of that team.
