The next player on our list for the Supernova team has a unique history. The reasons behind his short-lived peak and subsequent steep decline are different from any other Yankee who’ll join him on this list.
However, despite all that was said and all that can be brought up regarding his best years, I felt compelled to write about him for a few reasons:
- I would not be surprised if many Yankee fans were unfamiliar with the name.
- Caveats or not, his production was the backbone of the Yankees for a two-year period in which he was the best player on the team.
