The first few weeks can be tough when you are trying to remember all the new uniform numbers. That process is even harder when players switch #’s. Here are two changes to report, courtesy of the NY Jets.

Robby Anderson moves from # 83 to # 11.  Juston Burris is switching to # 32.

No more 83 for @youngamazing9.

Mariners retire Ken Griffey Jr’s uniform No. 24 (Video)

Last month, Ken Griffey Jr. took his place among the game’s greats when he was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. On Saturday, the Mariners honored the man who is sixth on Major League Baseball’s all-time home run list.

Prior to the game between the Mariners and Angels was a ceremony at Safeco Field, at which time Griffey became the first player in Mariners history to have his uniform number retired.

During warmups, members of the Mariners all wore No. 24 and even had their hats on backwards, like Griffey used to famously do.

In addition to having his number retired, Mariners president Kevin Mather announced a statue of Griffey will be be built outside of the stadium next year, another certainly deserved honor.
