27. Roy White

A New York Yankee for all fifteen of his seasons of Major League Baseball career, Roy White provided solid service over that time.  White was a two-time All-Star who put up a decent On Base Percentage and would lead the AL in Walks in 1972.  He would also finish in the top ten in Power/Speed seven times and had 160 Home Runs with 223 Stolen Bases.

34. Joe Gordon

The American League MVP in 1942, Joe Gordon brought a very well rounded game to the New York Yankees.   
Yet another player that the Yankees fleeced from the Boston Red Sox, Herb Pennock would prove to be an incredibly more productive player in pinstripes than in crimson stockings.
One of the most highly regarded defensive Third Baseman in the game’s history Graig Nettles also brought some pop to the New York Yankees when he arrived prior to the 1973 season.  Nettles would provide New York with eight seasons of twenty plus Home Runs (including seven in a row) one of which was enough to win the American League Home Run title (1976).  The year after, he would actually hit more Home Runs (though would not win the title) and would finish 5th in MVP voting.  The season after Nettles would finish 6th.
