The Twist
Oh boy…

This was by far the hardest one to rank.  We know that many believed as Reggie declared that he was the “straw that stirred the drink” and his heroics in two straight World Series wins in 1977 to 1978.  Who can forget that he hit three Home Runs in Game 2 of the ’77 Series?  Jackson collectively hit 11 post season dingers with New York and was named the MVP in the 1977 Fall Classic batting .450 with a 1.250 OPS. 

49. Bob Meusel

A member of the famed “Murderers Row” lineup from the 1920’s Bob Meusel provided a balanced offensive attack for the Yankees.  Meusel had six seasons where he batted over .310 and while he was not necessarily known for his power he was a surprise Home Run leader in the 1925 season, where he also led the American League in RBIs.  Meusal was also a capable base runner who swiped 15 bases four times in his career.
