Mel Stottlemyre is known more for his work as a Pitching Coach for the New York Yankees, where he won four World Series Rings, after winning one with the Mets.  This was impressive, but it should not overshadow what he was as a player.

Many Yankees fans know Mel Stottlemyre as the Pitching Coach who helped his staff and the team win four World Series rings.  Perhaps because he played for New York at a time when they were not regular fixtures in the Fall Classic, the contributions of Stottlemyre on the mound, is not celebrated as much as it should be.
