Does anyone know the names of Pro Players who have worn or are wearing Jersey #6? Just curious. Would love to see a list. Can't locate through any google searches.

Roy White New York Yankees in the 70's
Von Hayes Philadelphia Phillies 80's
I think both of these players wore that number, but that is off the top of my head and I was still pretty young back then.
Doesn't seem like it is a number that is in demand in the majors though.

Casey Stengel once said, "You could look it up."
Here's another good resource.

Stan "the Man" Musial wore #6. After playing in 24 All Star games, and winning 3 National League MVP awards he was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. He was the consumate gentleman as well.
Not a bad number to pattern yourself after.

And Stan's number has been, of course, retired by the Cards. My son was given #6 with the Ems --- "YES! Musial's number!"
There is also a book that has each number (1-99) and lists the players from all sports who have worn that number.
It is a great book. I got it for Christmas last year and will try to dig it up.

I wear #6. Someday... hah
Rick Ankiel wore #66...
...how ironic that the Cardinals that wore 6, and then 66, turned out to BOTH be converted pitchers into outfielders.

Mickey Mantle wore #6 when he first came up with teh Yankees. Rumor has it he changed to #7 because he and Stan were basically vying for the same women affection and she already had a #6 around her neck. Baseball folklore.
Tony Oliva....MIN ?

OK there's 2 sixers that have been retired Musial (NL) and Oliva in the AL. There are two more, one from each league. Anybody?
