Over the last few weeks, we have created some fun lists of players by positions...
Here's my latest - a list of long time Major Leaguers All-Stars (or at least big time names) who were Yankees, but who are not, necessarily, remembered for being Yankees.
For this list, I'll keep it to players I saw play (1980 to present).
