30 years ago today, the New York Yankees drafted both Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada. Not bad.

The late rounds of the 1990 MLB Draft were good to the Yankees, to say the least, and June X is a massive day in this franchise’s modern history.

On this date 30 years ago, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada joined Bernie Williams (signed at the age of 17 in 1985) and Mariano Rivera (signed in February of ’90) in the New York Yankees’ system.
