no number on Gary and others backs.


I was hoping to see if someone already asked this. Their were some scenes when it didn't show the numbers on the player's backs. Especially Gray's back. Wonder why?

In 1929, numbers were first added on the backs of uniforms by the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians. By 1932, all major league baseball teams had numbers on their players' uniforms.

Thanks a lot for the answer! I thought it would have mentioned in the trivia section of the page.
