He was a Yankee? – Kong

There are many players who have donned the New York Yankees’ pinstripes over the years. Some reached the Hall of Fame (Ivan Rodriguez), others, the Hall of Shame (Jose Canseco). There have been enemies (Kevin Youkilis) and some who turned out to be friends (Ichiro Suzuki). And, there have been plenty who when you’re told they once played in the Bronx, make you think, “He was a Yankee?” Those are the players that we will be taking a look at today.

Dave “Kong” Kingman slugged 442 home runs in a 16-year career. Arguably, he’s best known for playing for the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.
