SP Ford RP Rivera......I think the Yanks are the only team that has a current Hall of Famer or future one at every position hence they win every fantasy league game they play.

An argument would be heavy "IF" in choosing the best Yankees of all time, only one Center Fielder is allowed. Joe D and The Mick. Pick one.
I don't have the numbers in front of me but I think DiMaggio hit 361 home runs and struck out only 368 times. Impressive. Imagine Joe D having 70% of his at bats from the left side of the plate to take advantage of the short porch in right field?
Imagine Mantle not being hurt so much or if he played the game sobber.
The Mick is my guy- but the DiMaggio fans can have a great argument over who was better.
