Off memory, I think of all the big names-Ruth 3, Musical 6. And I remember most of the guys of the 90s/2000s--

Bonds 25, Pujols 5, Jeter 2, Griffey 24, Ichiro/Randy 51.

I honestly couldn't name most of the numbers anymore. Trout is 27. Judge is 99. Not sure what number Tatis, Soto, Degrom, etc are. Just doesn't feel like they're marketed by number anymore.

But the fad of wearing baseball jerseys around also seems to be over so maybe I just don't visualize it as much

Try out some 2013 Topps Baseball and you will learn a lot of uniform #s for that time real quick.
