In 1929 the Yankees became the first team in sports to put numbers on their jerseys to identify the players. These numbers were originally assigned based on the order in the batting lineup. This is the reason why Babe Ruth was #3 and Lou Gehrig was #4.
They have never put names on the back of their jerseys, even when other teams started to do it in the 1960s.
One of the major reasons they don't put names on the back is the tradition of never having them on there. Also, it is the idea that no one individual is bigger than the team, that they are the Yankees and not individual players.
