Who was the only baseball player who played and managed both NY Mets and NY Yankees?

It's never happened, not when all the teams played in New York. The person who probably came closest was Sal Maglie, who pitched for the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees in New York before ending his career in 1958, four years before the Mets were born and the first year that the Dodgers and Giants were no longer home teams in New York. Others like Maglie who played for all three New York teams were Fred Merkle, first baseman, and the following pitchers: Waite Hoyt, Burleigh Grimes, Johnny Allen and Bobo Newsom. Only Casey Stengel ever suited up for the four New York teams - as a player with the Giants, as a manager with the Yankees and Mets, and as player and manager with the Dodgers.

When did major league baseball first start using player numbers?

The Yankees first used numbers on their jerseys to reflect their batting order. I don't know exactly when they started, probably during the Gehrig/Ruth years.

According to Baseball Almanac.com, the Indians were the first to use numbers. They were experimenting with numbers and on 16 April, 1929 played the first game with numbers added. The Yankees had added numbers permanently but had been rained out a couple of times, so the Indians beat them to the punch. The Yankees also played the same day, but I guess the Indians game was earlier.

The NY Yankess put numbers on their jerseys reflectong the batting order. This put numbers in order to indentify each player so that the fans sitting far away would see the Babe. Ruth is the reason we have numbers today. Please check out Ken Burns' baseball to find out more.

From the website: http://www.all-baseball.com/ref/retired.HTML

Here are a few key dates in the evolution of uniform numbers:

* 1907: The Reading Red Roses are the first team to experiment with uniform numbers. * 1916: The Cleveland Indians are the first major league team to experiment with uniform numbers. On June 26, they wear numbers on the left sleeve. The project lasts only a few weeks. * 1917: Indians try again, this time with the numbers on the right sleeve. Again, they abandon them after a brief trial. * 1923: The St. Louis Cardinals try numbers on the sleeves. It is short-lived. * 1929: The Yankees and Indians wear numbers on the backs of their jerseys. * 1932: NL president John Heydler issues an edict on June 22 that all NL teams should number their players "With each club to inaugurate the system as soon as possible." * 1937: The Philadelphia A's become the last team to add numbers to their home uniforms. The team, and the rest of the AL, had added numbers to their road shirts in 1931.
