Willie Randolph ranks at the top of the Yankees list of consummate professionals and was as dependable as any player to wear the pinstripes. Wednesday is a major milestone for Randolphas he celebrates his 62nd birthday. He has seen his ups and downs in baseball, but remains one of the most well respected living ambassadors of the game.
In his playing days Randolph was a smooth fielding second baseman who had a knack for coming up with the big hit. That earned him six all star selections and two world series championships. It also earned him the honor of serving as the Yankees Co-Captain from 1986 through 1988.
