Which major league baseball player who wore a fraction as his number?
338865
That would be Eddie Gaedel, the midget that batted once for the St. Louis Browns back in the early 50's, maybe 1952 or '53.  He wore number 1/8 and was walked in his only plate appearance.  The owner who signed him was the legendary Bill Veeck, who was the master of the unusual promotion.  Gaedel was supposed to be a "Brownie."  St. Louis Browns...get it?  Since he walked, he ended up with no at bats, and a batting average of .000.  Not sure of the year, but it was before 1954, because that was the year the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

Mariano Riveria is wearing it with the Yankees right now.\n\nThey retired the number for Jackie Robinson but anyone who was wearing it at the time was aloud to keep it.

JAckie Robinson. NO question. The only man who has his number retired from every sport needs a good movie done. BEsides look what he did. That is simply amazing and if you dont know who or what he is contact me or an encyclopedia.

According to Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe, the term was first introduced by pitcher Dennis Eckersley, who coined it after giving up a "walkoff piece" to Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series. Although the term originally was coined with a negative connotation, in reference to the pitcher (who must walk off the field with his head hung in shame), it has come to mean a more celebratory term for the batter (who walks off with pride and adulation). The term attained widespread use in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Ivàn Zamorano of Chile wore a jersey with 1+8 on it but the plus was really tiny so it could also be read as an 18 , as officially was...\nthis was to indicate that he was the main forward of the team (who usually wears N° 9) but also that he had twice the skills of the player who wore 9 at that time...

Hank Aaron has 755, but Sadharu Oh in Japan hit 868... Lots of great player's stats were never kept because they were in the Negro Leagues... but the MLB record (for now) belongs to Hammerin' Hank.
