Many people say that Babe Ruth is the best player to ever play the game. I think he was too. He was a slugger and a big clutch hitter.  He had two home-run records when he played.  The first was his 408 home-run record.  It was broken by two people.  His other record was 60 home-runs in one season.  His teammate Mickey Mantle had beaten him by one home-run.

As the Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig was an RBI machine.  He was definitely a slugger at 6 foot and 210 pounds.  He has a record of 23 grand slams in his career and it still stands today.  He was inducted into the hall of fame in 1939.  He was on Babe Ruth’s team and they were an unbeatable team up.

The Yankee’s second basemen Mickey Mantle was also a slugger like Babe and Gehrig.  He was the most powerful slugger in MLB history.  Mickey hit the longest ball ever hit in baseball history.  He played 18 years with 536 home-runs  and his career batting average was .298.  He won three MVP awards, a Triple Crown Award, and 7 World Series titles.

Yogi Berra was the New York Yankees catcher. He was considered second to only Joe Dimaggio in all around ability. He was one of the top ten best clutch hitters of all time. Yogi played in 15 all-star games consecutively from 1948-1962. He was a smaller guy, only about 5'8 and 180 pounds. He helped win 10 World Series Championships for the Yankees.

Many people think that Joe Dimaggio’s 56 game hitting streak was baseball’s greatest feat ever. He had nine seasons with 100 RBI’s. Joe was a very consistent hitter with an outstanding .325 career batting average. He was an outstanding center fielder with a cannon for an arm. Many people thought him to be the best player to play the game. Well, they were right. In 1969 he was named the best to ever play the game.

This man named Billy Martin was an outstanding outfielder as well as a hitter. He had a great career batting average that was .273. Billy helped the Yankees win 7 of the 13 World Series that he played in. He still wanted to be a part of the Yankees even after he retired. So he became a very well known and popular Yankees broadcaster.
