Biography
The Yankees have a prestigious history when it comes to relief pitchers with many big names, but the Yankees bullpen’s story isn’t one that’s exclusively made up of names like Mariano Rivera and Goose Gossage. “Closers” get the glory, but the names who help bridge the gap from starter to closer are an important part of the story.
