Question: Which three MLB franchises have retired Nolan Ryan’s jersey number?
Answer: Nolan Ryan is the only player to have his jersey number retired by three franchises: the Angels (No. 30), Astros (No. 34), and Rangers (No. 34). Excluding Jackie Robinson’s league-wide retired No. 42, no other player has matched the feat. Ryan also became the first player to appear for all four original MLB expansion franchises: the Mets, Angels, Astros, and Senators/Rangers.
