The All-Time NYY 25 Man Roster
You could make 50 of these lineups and not be wrong. It is very subjective, but for me, this is my all-time NYY starting lineup:
SS Derek Jeter
CF Joe DiMaggio
1B Lou Gerhig
RF Babe Ruth
LF Mickey Mantle
3B Alex Rodriguez
DH Don Mattingly
C Yogi Berra
2B Willie Randolph
This team would do some DAMAGE. There is a good blend of hitting for contact and power on this team as well. Below are my starting 5:
Whitey Ford
Ron Guidry
CC Sabathia
Andy Pettitte
Mike Mussina
With four lefty starters, this would be a weird rotation. All of these guys in my mind are all game seven, give me the ball type of pitchers. Below is the bullpen:
Closer- Mariano Rivera
RP- Goose Gossage
LP- Aroldis Chapman
LP- Sparky Lyle
LP- Dave Righetti
RP- Jeff Nelson
RP- Dellin Betances
The only questionable one is Betances, but he might be the "nastiest" pitcher the Yankees have ever had. When he was right he was completely unhittable. Below is the bench:
C Thurman Munson
2B Robinson Cano
OF Bernie Williams
OF Reggie Jackson
Imagine this being your bench...sheesh. If you disagree with this roster, comment below! Or comment on the Instagram post for this blog @theyankeesvoice!
