Over the past 120 years, the New York Yankees have seen some great shortstops anchor the middle of the infield. From Hall of Famers to role players, from heroes and future broadcasters, 12 players recorded at least 2,000 at-bats and played most of their games at shortstop for the Yankees.
This countdown is objective, based on Wins Above Replacement, and only players who earned a mark of at least ten in WAR are included, so the level of player isn’t watered down too much.
Some much-appreciated New York Yankees will be left off under the parameters mentioned above, such as:
- Tom Tresh
- Gene Michael
- Bobby Meacham
