Just how good was Bernie Williams in pinstripes? That’s not necessarily a question that should force Yankees fans to think more than a few seconds. Bernie was great. He was a switch hitter that could hit for average, decent power, and played a premium, up the middle position. He was also on the dynasty team of the late ‘90s. That’s all you really need to know in order to come to the conclusion that Bernie Williams had a great career in pinstripes.
However, to a lot of casual fans (and even some hardcore fans) he isn’t mentioned in the same breath as the “Core Four” consisting of Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte, and Posada.
