The issue is mostly a spring training issue as there are more guys than there are numbers sometimes. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 06:37 11
- In spring training, there are guys you know won't make the team. Minor leaguers to get experience, etc. They can wear triple digits -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 06:40 10
  - I think I'd rather they double up than use triple digits. Triple digits looks awful on jerseys. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 06:41 9
    - How about negative numbers instead? -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 06:44 4
      - Irrational numbers! -- nm - spamlet Mar 30, 06:52 1
        
        Now up to bat...√11 -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:56
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 06:45 1
        
        Lotta prime single digit negative numbers left... -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 06:53
    - So use letters and numbers - decline Mar 30, 06:43 3

        That would work as well, especially for the kids that aren't going to make the MLB roster. I'm sure it would help the players and coaches - Krusty Mar 30, 06:50
In MLB there is no rule that coaches have unique numbers -- nm - crash davis Mar 30, 06:32
