  • Top 20 All-Time Yankees?

    How do you rank the Top 10 All-Time Yankees? Here's what I get:

    1) Babe Ruth
    2) Lou Gehrig
    3) Mickey Mantle
    4) Joe DiMaggio
    5) Yogi Berra
    6) Whitey Ford
    7) Mariano Rivera
    8) Bill Dickey
    9) Derek Jeter
    10) Don Mattingly
    11) Thurman Munson
    12) Dave Winfield
    13) Lefty Gomez
    14) Bernie Williams
    15) Elston Howard
    16) Red Ruffing
    17) Joe Gordon
    18) Ron Guidry
    19) Graig Nettles
    20) Tony Lazzeri

    Just for kicks, here are my next 30 (to round out to 50, but these are not ranked)

    Allie Reynolds
    Andy Pettitte
    Billy Martin (gets manager points)
    Bob Meusel
    Bobby Murcer
    Charlie Keller
    Dave Righetti
    Earle Combs
    Ed Lopat
    Gil McDougald
    Goose Gossage
    Hank Bauer
    Herb Pennock
    Jack Chesbro
    Lou Piniella (gets some manager points)
    Mel Stottlemyre
    Moose Skowron
    Paul O'Neill
    Phil Rizzuto
    Reggie Jackson
    Roger Maris
    Roy White
    Sparky Lyle
    Spud Chandler
    Tino Martinez
    Tommy Henrich
    Vic Raschi
    Waite Hoyt
    Willie Keeler
    Willie Randolph

    Based on what they did as Yankees only? I'd consider giving Bernie the edge over Winfield given his postseason performance - 22 HRs, 83 Runs, 83 RBIs, all Major League postseason records, all accomplished as a New York Yankee.

      It was mostly just what they did as Yankees, hence Jackson being so low. I probably should have bumped Winfield down a few spots.

                Rickey only had 4 and half seasons with the Yanks, and one was drastically cut short by injury. Just couldn't really see him on the all-time Yankee list (same as Clemens). Jackson barely got into the top 50 because of his postseason heroics. Rickey didn't have any of those with the Yankees.

                  1B Gehrig, Mattingly, Tino
                  2B Lazzeri, Gordon
                  3B Rolfe, Nettles
                  SS Jeter, Rizzuto
                  LF Ruth,
                  CF DiMaggio, Mantle, Combs
                  RF O'Neill, Meusel, Jackson
                  C Dickey, Berra, Howard, Munson

                  That equal twenty. Pitchers have their own award for outstanding pitcher because they different from everyday players.

                  RHP Hoyt, Ruffing, Reynolds
                  LHP Ford, Guidry, Pennock
                  RHR Mariano, Gossage, Duren
                  LHR Arroyo, Page
