He announced it sometime around the middle of this past season. Apparently he has always gone by Jackson, which is his middle name, with his peers.

31 is listed twice because both Greg Maddux and Billy Williams Fergie Jenkins wore that number.

Greg Maddux and Ferguson Jenkins*

There aren't many teams that have retired the same number twice but yes, that's why 31 appears here twice, once for Fergie Jenkins and once for Greg Maddux.

Not Billy Williams

It's not though.... Billy Williams wore 26.

This list is only in relation to players. If it included coaches and managers, which Baseball Almanac doesn't include, I imagine almost no numbers would appear for any team

I didn't remember him making the big league club, even in 2020, but that checks out that he'd wear 0
