Again, did we ever say this would be fast?

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have completed our next all-time top 50, this time that of the New York Yankees.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1. Sabremetric tallies while with that team, mostly WAR.

2. Traditional metrics and how they finished in their respective league overall.

3. Playoff accomplishment.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

Saying all of that, as.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in our news. They are:

1. Babe Ruth

2. Lou Gehrig

3. Mickey Mantle

4. Joe DiMaggio

5. Derek Jeter

One hell of a top five wouldn’t you say?

So which team is up next?

We are sticking with Baseball and it will be five time World Series Champion, the Cincinnati Reds

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.

The sabremetricians are not fond of Allie Reynolds and a quick look at his career WHIP of 1.386 is a big reason why.  Reynolds was the recipient of a lot of run support as he played for some incredible Yankee teams that seemed to get on base at will. 

The man called “Superchief” was one of the great right-handed pitchers of the New York Yankees.  Allie Reynolds was the first man to toss two no-hitters in a season in the American League, though that was just a small sample of what he accomplished.

The Yankees were a loaded team, and Allie Reynolds was a huge part of that.  During the Superchief’s tenure, the Bronx Bombers captured six World Series.  His post-season record was 7-2, and he was starting as well as relieving, as shown by his four saves.  This was the same type of way he was used in the regular season, as Allie often came out of the pen as well as started.  Basically, the flamethrower did whatever was called upon to get the win for his team.

Because of this, Allie Reynolds cannot be judged solely on wins and losses.  He was not always placed in positions where he could win games, and he would have easily had more victories if he had been used primarily as a starter.  Regardless, baseball knew what they had as he was a perennial All-Star regardless of how he was used.
