Holy Cow!

Before Phil Rizzuto became known to a generation for his broadcasting, “Scooter” was the star Shortstop who played his entire career for the New York Yankees.
One of the most recognized Catchers in the 1970’s, Thurman Munson was called by many of his teammates as the heart and soul of the New York Yankees.  This is very high praise considering how good the team they were in the last half of the 1970’s.
A five-time All-Star with the New York Yankees, Robinson Cano was one of the most prolific hitters ever to wear their pinstripes.  Cano would bat over .300 seven times in New York.  Cano provided power as 204 of his 1,649 Hits in New York went over the fences and he was certainly excellent defensively as he would win two Gold Gloves and two Wilson Defensive Awards as a Yankee.  It was a sad day in the Bronx when Cano would sign with Seattle in free agency.
A member of the back-to-back Yankees World Series Champions in 1977 and 1978, Willie Randolph could be one of the most underrated baseball players ever.
