Our retrospective on the '96 Yankees continues with the man who loved Game 4s.
Background
After playing college baseball for the Kentucky Wildcats in 1985, Jim Leyritz was signed as an amateur free agent by the Yankees. Five years later, at age 26, Leyritz made his Major League debut on June 8th, 1990. Leyritz played 92 games for the Bombers that year, batting .257/.331/.356 with five home runs and 25 RBI. That year, he split time at third base, catcher, and all three outfield positions. While never really earning a full time role anywhere on the field, Leyritz's value came from his ability to play a little bit of everything, which allowed the Yankees to plug him in wherever they needed him.
