ESPN published its Top 100 ballplayers of all-time on Thursday, and unsurprisingly, considering the Yankees’ long history and tradition of success, the Bronx Bombers are well represented. I was originally just going to riff on the where certain Yankees fell on the list, but instead, I had the pleasure of talking baseball with someone who watches even more of it than I do, for longer than I have, in ESPN Senior Writer David Schoenfield.
The Yankees on the list fall into two categories for me: those who spent part of their career with the Yankees but might be equally or better known for their time elsewhere, and those who are certified Yankees Legends.
