The New York Yankees for over 100 years now, have been blessed with some of the best baseball players to ever play the game. A host of them has made it all the way to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. A few familiar names are Earl Combs, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mikey Mantle, Derek Jeter and the only player ever to be elected to the Hall unanimously, Mariano Rivera. It might surprise you to know that “Donny Baseball” and Thurmon Munson are not in the Hall of Fame, more about that later.
