Wikipedia definition
2. Retired numberRetiring the number of an athlete is an honor a team bestows on a player, usually after the player has left the team or retires from the game. Once a number is retired, no future player from the team may use that number, unless the player so-honored permits it. Such an honor may also be bestowed on players who had highly memorable careers, have died prematurely under tragic circumstances, or have had their promising careers ended by serious injury.
