The New York Yankees have more talent in their rich history than some multiple franchises, combined. This statement holds special significance in specific positions. In center field, it’s hard to find a better group than Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Bobby Murcer, Bernie Williams, and Earle Combs. Frankly, it’s impossible; this is a unicorn in comparison with other positions.
Other positions, such as corner outfield and first base, also show a tremendous track record with great performers. Perhaps the one position in which this aspect is overlooked is at catcher.* Most franchises are lucky to have one great all-time catcher, but the Yankees have multiple Hall of Famers in Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra, and that’s not even counting a couple of MVP winners in Elston Howard and Thurman Munson (who aren’t present in Cooperstown).
