The New York Yankees are the winningest team in Major League Baseball history, and they have had countless household names play for them over the years.
From Hall of Famers to current superstars, the Yankees have it all when it comes to talented players over the years.
Some iconic Yankees players include Babe Ruth, Derek Jeter, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Mariano Rivera.

Sabathia came into the league in 2001 with the Cleveland Guardians where he played until briefly going to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2008 and then going to the Yankees from 2009-2019.
The 19-season career for Sabathia was remarkable, and his numbers will back up that statement.
His career numbers include a record of 251-161 with a 3.74 ERA, 12 shutouts, and 3,093 strikeouts in 3,577.1 innings pitched.
Sabathia was a six-time all-star selection and he won the Cy-Young Award in 2007.
His 2007 Cy Young year included starting 34 games where he held a record of 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 241.0 innings pitched.
Sabathia stated that he pitched until he physically couldn’t pitch anymore, which shows how much he loved the game of baseball.
While his time with the Yankees is the most well-known, Sabathia won his Cy Young Award with the then-Cleveland Indians.
It will be interesting to see if Sabathia gets into the Hall of Fame this year.
