I don’t think we are going to have one person dispute us when we are saying that Mariano Rivera is the greatest Relief Pitcher of all time.

The all-time leader in Saves realistically had one pitch; and that fastball was all he needed.  Elite firemen shorten a game, but nobody did it longer and better than Rivera did.  Nobody actually came close. 

The Bronx Bombers were always known for their sluggers but amidst the Mantles and the Maris’ there was Whitey Ford, “The Chairman of the Board”.

Meet the second biggest theft from the Boston Red Sox by the New York Yankees.

The ace of the Yankees staff in the 1930’s, Red Ruffing won 15 or more games 11 times, including a four year stretch where he exceeded the 20 Win mark.  Ruffing would represent the Yanks in six All Star Games and would also be a key figure in helping New York win Six World Series Titles.

Without question, Derek Jeter is the most important New York Yankee in the last thirty years.  He is also one of the few players to retire with over 3,000 Hits for one team.
