The Core Four was an integral part of the New York Yankees of the late 1990s. The combination of Derek Jeter, Andy Pettite, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera blessed the Yankees with five World Series titles in two decades.
Thanks to that monumental accomplishment and more, Jorge Posada is the first member of the Core to be placed on the Hall of Fame ballot, as announced on Monday.
While a nomination in itself is an honor, being voted into Cooperstown forever cements a player’s legacy in the game of baseball.
