I'll go with Frank Robinson, Willie Mays, and Casey Stengel.

You are three for three! Stengel's #37 was retired by the Yankees and Mets, the Say Hey Kid's #24 by the Giants and Mets, and FRobby's #20 by the O's, Reds and Indians/Guardians.

Only 7 to go.

Boggs is right. #12 by Tampa and #26 by Boston.

Even though Bonds won two MVPs for the Pirates, they haven't retired his number. Similarly, the Cardinals haven't shown their appreciation of the MVP and five Gold Gloves Mex earned with them.

6 more to go. All Hall of Famers.

How about some more Mets. Gil Hodges was the manager of the Miracles Mets team, and Gary Carter was a great player for the Mets and Expos.

Not sure if the Dodgers retired Piazza's number, but the Mets did.

Also, how about Rod Carew or Reggie Jackson?

You got three more. Hodges' #14 was retired by the Mets and Dodgers. Mr. October had #9 retired by the A's and #44 by the Yanks. And Rod Carew was a great guess. His #29 is on the wall for the Angels and the Twins.

Only 3 to go. 2 pitchers and 1 catcher.

I see you had mentioned that in a prior post.

Yep, Ryan and Frank Robinson are the only two players that have had their numbers retired by 3 teams.

Hernandez is in the Cardinals Hall of Fame though, so he did get some love from them.
