Everything in Yankees land the past few weeks has been young players with bright futures and 1996 memories — and I’m loving every minute of it.
After being back in town for the 1996 World Series championship celebration earlier this month, the Core Four of Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, and Jorge Posada caught up about what they remember about that magical ’96 season.
In the sit-down, the guys discuss how their mentality entering 1996 was to just make the team. Pretty funny to think back, but Jeter was a wide-eyed rookie who many thought was not ready to handle shortstop at the major league level.
