It’s time for the fourth segment of our all-time team of complementary greats. Our corner outfield is already set with Tommy Henrich and Bob Meusel, behind the plate there is Elston Howard providing that pop. Now, we select the team’s first baseman straight from the 1950’s. The fourth member of our squad is the late Bill Skowron.
Career NYY stats: 1,087 G, .294/.346/.496, 165 HR, 672 RBI, 129 OPS+
The Yankees have had some terrific hitters at first, like Lou Gehrig, Don Mattingly, Jason Giambi, and Mark Teixeira (to name a few).
