He almost was....as the Yankees offered Hank a contract when he graduated HS in the Bronx in 1929.
He turned it down, because as a 1st baseman, he knew he was just going to be a bench warmer with
the Yankees. Instead he attended NYU for a year. Three years later, after playing ball in the Minors,
he signed with Detroit.

Who knows what his career would have been like as a Yankee ?
