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

When Bob Meusel entered the batter's box in the 1920s, he offered an optimal and formidable safeguard for the most intimidating lineup in the history Of baseball. Positioned immediately behind Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the renowned "Murderers' Row" batting order, Meusel did not need to dominate the media spotlight to cause significant harm. His presence contributed to a balanced and exceptionally comprehensive offensive strategy for the Yankees, effectively punishing opposing pitchers who attempted to avoid confronting the team's larger-than-life figures.

His pinstriped career was characterized by an exceptionally smooth, line-drive swing that achieved elite consistency. Meusel adapted instantly to the Bronx hitting environment, consecutively recording six seasons with a batting average exceeding .310.

Although he was largely overshadowed by Ruth’s historic fly-ball revolution, Meusel possessed considerable, effortless strength capable of suddenly dominating a game. The zenith of this run-producing power was reached during the 1925 season. With Babe Ruth sidelined by illness for a significant portion of the year, Meusel assumed the spotlight, delivering an exceptional performance to secure the American League home run title with 33 home runs and leading the junior circuit with an impressive 134 RBIs.

Beyond his impressive power statistics, Meusel brought a lively, athletic flair to the field that was uncommon among corner outfielders of his time. He was an adept baserunner, using sharp instincts to steal 15 or more bases on four occasions, including a bold steal of home during the 1921 World Series. Defensively, he intimidated opposing third-base coaches with one of the most formidable, rifle-like throwing arms in the game, consistently throwing out runners attempting to stretch hits from both right and left field.

His persistent performance was a vital driver for the franchise's first major dynasty, directly contributing to the Yankees’ three World Series titles, including the historic, wire-to-wire 1927 season. Meusel's stint in New York ended after the 1929 season, when the front office decided to focus on younger players and sold his contract to the Cincinnati Reds.

Meusel concluded his brilliant, ten-year run in pinstripes with 1,565 hits, 156 home runs, and a commanding .500 slugging percentage.
