Phew..this hit me like a ton of bricks…one of my favorite players ever…I sit next to an oversized Rickey almost every day in my den…something that won’t get mentioned a lot is his being a low key Yankees legend….the list of NYY position players with more WAR in a season?
Ruth
Gehrig
Mantle
Judge
That’s the WHOLE list. Rickey was a class act and a legend in every regard…the cornfield awaits.
