This is my top ten Yankees list:
1. Gehrig 2. Ruth 3. Dimaggio 4. Mantle 5. Mariano Rivera 6. Yogi Berra 7. Whitey Ford 8. Bill Dickey 9. Derek Jeter 10. Bernie Williams Had he not gotten hurt, I believe Don Mattingly would be right up there under Mo. Last edited by packs; 07-09-2011 at 05:15 PM.

About Ruth not being #1, they practically named their stadium after him ... Also, Rivera and Jeter have a fat ZERO regular season MVP's and Cy Young's between them. Mantle, Berra, and DiMaggio all have 3 MVP's each. Gehrig has 2 and Ruth has one.
Here are the # of rings as a Yankee (and appearing in that WS): Berra (10), Dimaggio (9), Mantle (7), Gehrig (6), Ruth (4), Jeter (5), Rivera (5) Last edited by glchen; 07-09-2011 at 05:41 PM.

Mariano Rivera might not have any league MVPs, but can you think of a more valuable player to have on your team than him? I'd take him with my number 1 pick of the entire league if I had one.
I rank Gehrig as number 1 because there is no telling what numbers he would have put up had he not gotten sick. I don't know the details of ALS, but assuming he had his last fully healthy season at age 34 and had never had a significant injury in his career, there were untold numbers of seasons he never got to play.

3000 for Jeter
I would pretty much agree with Gary's order of greatest Yankees. A fantastic day for Jeter! Comparisons from the different eras are extremely hard. Where are the Bruces?

Agreed people are getting caught up....in the past !!! Seriously not fair to call Ruth the greatest Yankee as he might be the greatest to ever play in all of baseball. If Jeter isn't an MVP, who is ? All the listed Yankees are great and very tough to compare or put in any order it's all a matter of opinion.

Just got back from the game. It was absolutely incredible - I actually was in "The Perfect Game" suite with Graig Nettles, Mickey Rivers and a few other former Yankees (and right next to the suite where Derek's father and Minka Kelly were). Very interesting to see the players reactions, especially Nettles - he was so locked in on the game and kept saying it was incredible.
Edited to add, Minka Kelly is gorgeous.

I was at the game as well. I brought my six year old. I was holding him steady as he stood on the seat to get a better view, and then when it was up, I lifted him up on my shoulders and we jumped around together (carefully enough). For what it was worth, I didnt think it was gone off the bat. I think I was thinking it was maybe a double or going to be a nice catch by the left fielder. But it just kept carrying.
Our seats were in the sun, about a zillion degrees, and so after the pandemonium died down, we went to the gift shop, got some hats and shirts, and then headed home. I saw hits 4 and 5 on my sofa. Really cool experience...

Well, since this seems to have turned into a top 5 all time Yankee list, I will add one as well. The player must have been on the Yankees for a significant period of his career to be considered. (e.g. no Rickey Henderson or Roger Clemens)
1. Babe Ruth 2. Lou Gehrig 3. Mariano Rivera 4. Alex Rodriguez 5. Derek Jeter
