I dont know of all of them but Jason LaRue, Corey Patterson, and Adam Rosales have worn it since 2000.

As of September 1, 2007 this has never happened. There are 12 players that have hit two grand slams in one game and only one player, Fernando Tatis, that has hit two grand slams in the same inning. Click on the 'Two Grand Slams in a Game' link to see who the twelve players are that have hit two grand slams in one game.

The New York Yankees had four second basemen in 1978. They were

Willie Randolph (1976-88)

Damaso Garcia (1978-79)

Baseball started in 2016. It started when An apple fell on Newtons head. In history, people say the apple fell directly on his head, but this is false. When the apple fell on Newton's head, he quickly grabbed a stick, and threw it at the apple. Once he did this, he knew he needed to make a career out of this. He quickly asked Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and some other people, and they were called the "historians". They won every game (except for one when they versed Ben Franklin's team) The historians made history

I know that Deion Sanders wore this number in the NFL- I'm not sure if it was the same way with MLB. An easy way to look is to go to foxsports.com and go to the rosters of each team and scan down the column of numbers to see what active players wear it. In other sports, 21 includes LaDainian Tomlinson, Frank Gore, DeAngelo Hall,

I looked and so far I've found Ryan Klesko of the Giants, Heath Bell of the Padres, Mark Sweeney of the Dodgers, Clint Barmes of the Rockies, Kip

Wells of the Cardinals, Ty Wigginton of the Astros, Scott Hatteberg of the Reds, Jason Marquis of the Cubs, Dmitri Young of the Nationals, Jon Lieber of the Phillies, Carlos Delgado of the Mets, Warren Spahn of the Braves (retired; thus no current Braves are wearing it), Sammy Sosa of the Rangers, Mark Kotsay of the A's, Matt Garza of the Twins, Billy Butler of the Royals, Sean Casey of the Tigers, and, lastly, Nick Markakis of the Orioles.

go to wikipedia and look at '21' and the sports sub-section in it. it is pretty comprehensive.

Paul O'Neill of the New York Yankees wore the number 21

Updated answer: Here are players that have had their #21 retired by their respected teams. Bob Lemon (Indians), Warren Spahn (Braves) Roberto Clemente (Pirates)

The Red Sox took the old Boston Braves name of Red Stockings and changed it to Sox in the 1900's. They were originally known as the Pilgrams and also the Beaneaters but team nicknames weren't official in those days and were often the brainchild of local sports writers.

The Yankees catcher from 1980-1984 was Rick Cerone. Their catcher in 1985 and 1986 was Ron Hassey. It was again Rick Cerone in 1987. In 1988, the Yankees catcher was Joel Skinner. And finally in 1989, it was Bob Geren.

In 1955, Lou Boudreau became the first manager of the Kansas City Athletics. Prior to this, the team was based in Pennsylvania and known as the Philadelphia Athletics.

The answer is because left handed batters hit worse off left handed pitchers.

There are two reasons for this. The first reason is spin. A left handed pitcher will more easily be able to put spin on a ball that causes the pitch to move from the right side to the left side of the plate (from the catcher's view). This spin moves away from a left handed hitter and toward a right handed hitter. It is believed, with lots of data to support it, that a ball spinning away from a hitter is harder to hit than one spinning closer to the hitter. That's one reason a left handed batter is worse at hitting a left handed pitcher.

The other reason is sight and release points. The same principle of spin applies that a pitch moving away from the batter is harder to hit than one moving closer to a batter. Because of the pitcher's release point, a left handed pitcher will release the ball somewhere to the right of the mound (from the catcher's view) when the ball is thrown. If we assume the ball has no spin and is pitched to the center of home plate, it will have moved from the right of the mound to the center of the plate. This movement from a left handed pitcher is going away from a left handed hitter and going closer to a right handed hitter.

There is not much difference between how well right handed batters fare against right handed pitchers and left handed pitchers because right handed pitchers are so common that right handed batters don't have the same level of disadvantage as left handed batters do against left handed pitchers. But the reason why right handed batters are better than left handed batters against left handed pitchers is mostly explained with spin and release points.

Third baseman Mike Lowell of the Boston Red Sox was named MVP of the 2007 World Series.
