New York Yankees’ 1B woes are a huge problem heading into 2019

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the New York Yankees were actually the epitome of a fully operational Death Star. That Death Star hurdled through space, tearing through opponents with superstars at every single position.

For the longest time for this dynasty, the New York Yankees had their primary offensive production coming from first base. Don Mattingly held down the fort for extensive years, winning an AL MVP award, nine Gold Gloves and serving as captain during a crucial time in Yankees history.

How about Tino Martinez, the sweet swinger and fan favorite, who proved to be a steady presence at first through four World Series titles.
