It’s Now or Never
A four-time All-Star who spent all eleven of his Major League seasons with the New York Yankees, Spud Chandler posted a very impressive career record of 109 and 43.  Twice a 20 Game winner, Chandler would have his best season in 1943 where he went 20 and 4 while winning the ERA and WHIP Title while winning the American League MVP Title.  Chandler would also help New York win three World Series Titles.
Hmmm.

This is another tricky one.

In regards to pure talent Snuffy Stirnweiss doesn’t belong here and his greatest seasons took place during World War II when the Majors were depleted.  He won his infield job when Joe Gordon served his country and lost it when he came back. 
Honestly, this was a bit of a surprise as when you think of the career of Rickey Henderson it is the Oakland A’s that you think of as this is where he played in four separate stints and won the American League MVP.   He was however an excellent player for the New York Yankees for and half seasons during his prime, where he put up individual numbers good enough to land him here.
