Not all Yankees' rookies had great years in 1996.
A couple weeks ago on a Yankees' off day while flipping through the channels, I landed on YES. That night, they happened to be showing Game 4 of the 1996 World Series. The six-run comeback, Jim Leyritz, you know, that one. As often happens to me, that sent me down a Baseball-Reference rabbit hole, this time in particular I was looking at that 96 team. I have memories from 96 and know all the major names from that team, but I was only five years old, so I definitely have some blind spots about that team.
