Retired and Honored Numbers
A total of 9 numbers hang on the press level of MCU Park.
Brooklyn Dodgers: 4 (Duke Snider); 14 (Gil Hodges); 17 (Carl Erskine); 36 (Don Newcombe); 42 (Jackie Robinson);
Brooklyn Cyclones: 6 (Danny Garcia); 19 (Brian Bannister); 20 (Dillon Gee); 35 (Angel Pagan);
NOTE: A Cyclones player may still wear these numbers, with the exception of 14, & 42. Additionally, no Cyclone may wear 37 (Casey Stengel) or 41 (Tom Seaver) due to the numbers being retired by the Mets.
On August 22, 2011, the Brooklyn Cyclones also honored Pia Toscano, who sang the anthem prior to a game in 2003 by putting a plaque on the press level.

Famous quotes containing the words retired, honored and/or numbers:
“Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children’s hands, in front-yard plots,—now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;Mthe last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Much have I seen and known—cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honored of them all—
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Green grow the rushes-O
What is your one-O?”
—Unknown. Carol of the Numbers (l. 2–3)
