Retired jersey numbers

Per WP:PRESERVE, here is the list of retired #13 jersey numbers and racecars that were mentioned in the article:

The jersey number 13 has been retired by several North American sports teams, usually in honor of past playing greats:

• In Major League Baseball:
  • The Cincinnati Reds, for Dave Concepción.
• In the NBA:
  • The Charlotte Hornets, for Bobby Phills, who died in a 2000 auto accident while playing for the team. From 2002, when the original Hornets moved to New Orleans (eventually becoming the New Orleans Pelicans), to 2014, when the franchise formerly known as the Charlotte Bobcats reclaimed both the Hornets name and the history of the 1988–2002 Hornets, the number had been honored by the New Orleans franchise.
  • The Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Philadelphia 76ers, all for Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain.
  • The Portland Trail Blazers, for Dave Twardzik.
  • The San Antonio Spurs, for James Silas.
  • The Phoenix Suns, for Steve Nash.
• In the NFL:
  • The Miami Dolphins, for Hall of Famer Dan Marino.
  • The New York Jets, for Hall of Famer Don Maynard.
• In the NHL:
  • The Toronto Maple Leafs, for Hall of Famer Mats Sundin.

In Formula 1, the number 13 was used by Pastor Maldonado in 2015, after having been unused for 36 (see below) years.
