Such an honor may also be bestowed on players who had highly memorable careers, died prematurely under tragic circumstances, or have had their promising careers ended by serious injury.

Retired numbers are often referred to as "''hanging from the rafters''" as they are so displayed in the team's home venue, either emblazoned on jerseys with the players' names or made into appropriately colored/styled banners.
