The New York Yankees have been around as a franchise since the start of the 1901 season. When one thinks of the pinstripes there are numerous players over the years who immediately come to mind.

There are bound to be men whose careers with the club were forgotten to time in that group. I took a look and found five notable people from baseball history whom you might not have realized were Yankees.
