Classic Yankees: Ralph Houk
Classic Yankees: Brian Doyle
Some players are legends, with many moments over their careers that stand out, while others long for that one brief shining moment; that one moment in time (cue Whitney Houston) where they can be a star. Such a ballplayer was Brian Doyle. Doyle was a small infielder, whose brother, Denny Doyle, played in the 1975 WS as ...

Classic Yankees: Hideki Matsui
In a week when the Yankees unexpectedly picked up one Japanese superstar player, another Japanese superstar player who once played for the Yankees was designated for assignment and could see his career officially ending.

Classic Yankees: Johnny Sain
Spahn and Sain and pray for rain… Although Johnny Sain is famous for that phrase associated with the 1948 Boston Braves, he also made a considerable impact on the Yankees, both as a player and as a coach. In 1942, Sain, age 24, made it to the majors with the Boston Braves. His manager was the one ...
