Top 10 Retired Jersey Numbers in Sports
A monumental moment in sports history. It happened on April 15, 1997, just 50 years after he stepped on to the Major League Baseball diamond. Bill Clinton was on hand to announce that Jackie's number 42 would be retired by every MLB team. I feel it's right to do that especially with the way he made the game on and off the field what truly is the National Pastime, and he even paved the way for African Americans to manage in Major League Baseball.

There's no doubt there's only one Superman in the NFL, you're looking at it. For 9 seasons the Browns fans we're watching the greatest power back in pro football history. He along with Johnny Unitas, Frank Gifford and others helped pushed pro football into the national spotlight during the 1960s. He had memorable games and ways that made him a legend. He scored 100 touchdowns in only 93 games and was a 3-time NFL Most Valuable Player.

The Lakers also have his number 8 retired on his name.
Derek Sanderson Jeter is an American former professional baseball shortstop, current businessman and baseball executive who is the chief executive officer and part owner of the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball.He was a human machine. He played 48 minutes all out. That's why he played in more years than any Boston Celtic player in the 75-year history of the franchise. He never lost in the NBA Finals and played when Red Auerbach was head coach and when Tom Heinsohn was head coach. He saw many changes when he was a Celtic and, in the end, he stands alone as one of basketball's all-time greatest warriors and winners.
