The New York Yankees have retired 16 numbers. The most in Major League Baseball. Have they gone to far?

The New York Yankees have retired 16 numbers. That is the most amount of numbers retired by any team in the history of baseball. The question is..have they gone to far? I think so. I know the Yankees have had an enormous amount of history over the years, and they had some of the best players of all-time, but that doesn't mean every player that walks into pinstripes deserves their number retired. I believe some teams have guidelines and certain milestones players need to reach in order to have there number retired, but there are no such rules with the Yanks. They just retire any number they feel like retiring. I'm not saying that the players on the list below don't deserve there number retired, but I feel like they should have set guidelines like other teams. Some day the shortstop for the Yankees will be wearing the number 99. Do we want that? Not any time soon, but years from now a lot of the numbers will be taken away. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are locks to have there number retired when they retire. Who else could have there number retired? I don't know..maybe Willie Randolph or Bernie Williams. Alex Rodriguez when he is all said and done probably will. Jorge Posada also. As you can see..the list can go on and on. So where does it end? Will any numbers ever be reinstated? I don't know what they could do, but I think something should be done about it. Yankees Retired Numbers: 1- Billy Martin 3- Babe Ruth 4- Lou Gehrig 5- Joe Dimaggio 7- Mickey Mantle 8- Yogi Berra 8- Bill Dickey 9- Roger Maris 10- Phil Rizzuto 15-Thurman Munson 16- Whitey Ford 23- Don Mattingly 32- Elston Howard 37- Casey Stengel 44- Reggie Jackson 49- Ron Guidry
