NAME THAT YANK!
Active from ‘95-‘05, he played for 8 teams including a total of 19 games in pinstripes for the NYY. This LHP debuted for CIN and last appeared for WSH before continuing his career in NPB & then KBO. Writing articles for Sport Illustrated, Associated Press, SB Nation, Baseball Prospectus, ESPN & MLB, this man is quoted saying "I have never seen Roger or Andy take any illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never talked to either of them about PEDs, nor do I have any firsthand knowledge of them taking any PEDs."

This LHB played RF for 15 appearances with the Yankees and appeared in 23 total games for them. With a 6 year career, he ranked in RoY for DET, where he played with Verlander & Scherzer. Hitting 48 career homers, he managed to hit 3 in pinstripes. Playing for 4 teams, the former 3rd round pick was signed as a free agent before the Yankees released him.

NAME THAT YANK!
In his 13 years in the league, he hit to an ops of over .900 in 9 seasons. This LHB had over 100 BBs in 5 seasons leading the league 2x. A Yank for 11 years, he was nicknamed King Kong because of his ability to hit insane fly balls & HRs where he hit nearly 200. His ops+ of 152 is tied for 34th all time which is ahead of a ton of HoF players, a honor he did not receive.

This catcher was a Yankee for 5/11 major league seasons. Taking the catcher position and losing it a few years later to a more offensive catcher, he ranked 24th in MVP votes, got his first and only AS and Silver Slugger award, & came 3rd in RoY in the same season! Known to have emergency landed a plane he was piloting onto interstate 15 saying, "I went south, hovered over some cars, and waited until they cleared".
