No. 18 jersey

マー君の背番号は「１９」に決まったそうです。「１８」を付けている黒田選手（専大出身！）は譲りませんでした。ちなみに野球のユニフォームの上着もjerseyなのですね。（Shou-VR*）

Masahiro Tanaka will wear No. 19 with the Yankees in 2014

Hiroki Kuroda won't be giving up his No. 18 jersey for Masahiro Tanaka in 2014, as the Yankees' newest addition will wear No. 19 in 2014. Ace pitchers in Japan are usually given No. 18, but Kuroda's seniority likely gives him the ability to keep his number over the rookie.

If you needed a reminder that Chris Stewart is really, truly gone, this is it. I hope the Yankees have made sure that jersey was dry cleaned repeatedly. Can't have any possible contamination from the former owner infecting the Yankees' shiny new toy. What did Stewart think of Tanaka taking his old number?
