As Hispanic Heritage Month closes out today, we are going to wrap up our celebration by highlighting one of the greatest Yankees of all-time, Bernabé Williams Figueroa Jr.. There have been many great Hispanic Yankees, but Williams is arguably in the top two. This may or may not be surprising to you, but Bernie Williams ranks second all-time in fWAR among Yankee players of Latin American descent behind only Alex Rodriguez.
Williams accumulated 43.9 fWAR over the course of his career, while Rodriguez accumulated 51.7 during his Yankees tenure. The stats say the former center fielder is a borderline Hall of Famer.
