The Top 52 Yankees Individual Seasons
Inspired by something going on at Yanksfan vs Soxfan, and powered by the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia, I decided to take a 15-minute stab at ranking the "Top 52" seasons in Yankees history. (I went with "52" and not "50" because I could not choose between Mantle '55, A-Rod '05 and A-Rod '07 for #50.)
Here's are the lists:
Batters:
Pitchers:
As expected, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle and DiMaggio own the batter's list. But, look at the pitcher's list. See Catfish's 1975 and Pettitte's 1997? Did you expect to see them in a "Top 52" seasons, all-time, for the Yankees?
I won't get into my formula for picking the "Top 52" since it was done on the fly. But, what do you think of these rankings? Anyone you would add, remove, or re-position?
