Though I was always a bit of a Yankees hater (Jeter was overrated -- There, I said it...), I always loved watching Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera. I'm not sure that Mariano Rivera is forgotten by any stretch, and he certainly isn't from my youth. But I think both guys were always in the shadow of Jeter and A-Rod from a coverage standpoint.
I think Ivan Rodriguez also doesn't get the attention that he deserves. Guy was the best catcher in history. There, I said that also. The numbers aren't even close IMHO.
