What NY Yankee should be in the HOF?

Plus, you just can't credit him for what he might have done. Accordingly, he never received more than 15 percent of the vote.

PS I think we romanticize him because he was a Yankee, had a tough personality, and died prematurely. But he ended up with just over 100 HR and 1500 hits. That just doesn't get you into the Hall.

Valid points. His Postseason numbers are outstanding though.

My vote is for Roger Maris.

Let's have a Yankee moratorium for 25 years.
