So your criticizing the Yankees for having some of the greats to play the game be in their uniform? Sure they had the Babe but so did Boston. Yes they had DiMaggio, Mantle, Ford, Munson, Berra, and countless others.

But what about Ken Griffey Jr? Pete Rose? Sandy Koufax? Hank Aaron? Willie Mays? Barry Bonds? Cy Young? I think you see my point. I somewhat understand and agree with what you said (because a lot of the greats have been Yankees) but please don't say that no one else not in a Yankees uniform doesn't get recognized.
