The Unofficial Captain [2018 Season Preview]

Ready to feel old? There are only 91 active players who played a game in the old Yankee Stadium. Only seven of those 91 played in the old Yankee Stadium as a Yankee. The seven: Robinson Cano, Francisco Cervelli, Brett Gardner, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, David Robertson, and Chris Stewart. Apparently Stewart played one game for the 2008 Yankees. Who knew?

Anyway, only seven players who played a home game in the old Yankee Stadium are still active today. Pretty crazy, huh? Gardner is the longest tenured Yankee in terms of continual service — Robertson made his MLB debut the day before Gardner, though he spent time with the White Sox — and he is the longest tenured player in the organization overall.
