On most franchise best players lists jeter and Berra would probably be in the top 3 but for the Yankees they're fighting to be in the top 5. Just a testament to how many great Yankees players there has been.

And where's Whitey Ford?

I'm sorry, but he's in front of Jeter for a multitude of reasons. He was the greatest left handed Yankee pitcher of all time (maybe overall), and to top it off he's from Astoria.


Forgot about whitey. Yeah he would be up there. 5 would be between those 3. Idk who I would give the edge to maybe Yogi but I'm really not sure. Tough decision. Munson probably would've been in the top 5 if he didn't pass so early.
