The New York Yankees really knew how to pluck talent away from the Red Sox for a time didn’t they?

Playing his entire career with the New York Yankees, Tommy Henrich had one of the best nicknames in sports, “The Clutch”.  This stemmed from his World Series exploits most significantly hitting the first ever walk off Home Run in World Series history (Game 1 in 1949).  Basically, while there may have been bigger stars around Henrich, this was the guy you wanted at the plate when it counted the most.

Mike Mussina won more games and played more seasons as a Baltimore Oriole.  He also was never named an All-Star as a New York Yankee.  Still, there is no doubt in our minds that Mussina belongs on this list.

Earl Combs played with New York for all of his twelve seasons in Major League Baseball and he was one of the sweetest hitters in the game.  Combs would bat over .300 eight years in a row and had a very impressive career average of .325.  He also had excellent plate discipline with an On Base Percentage of .397 and six campaigns exceeding the .400 mark six times.
