1923 St. Louis (National League) Graphic courtesy of Marc Okkonen The 1923 St. Louis Cardinals experimented with numbers on the sleeve of their jersey. As with the Cleveland Indians of 1916, the trial did not last beyond the season. It was not until 1929 that numbers became a permanent fixture of big league uniforms.
