No A's player from the Philadelphia era has his number retired by the organization. Though Jackson and Hunter played small portions of their careers in Kansas City, no player that played the majority of his years in the Kansas City era has his number retired either. As of 2012, the A's have retired only the numbers of members of the Hall of Fame who played large portions of their careers in Oakland.

Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:

    If you want an expert on war, you get a retired general. I’m not exactly a general, but I am retired.
    Sydney Biddle Barrows (b. 1952)

    He bundles every forkful in its place,
    And tags and numbers it for future reference,
    So he can find and easily dislodge it
    In the unloading. Silas does that well.
    He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
