By Paul Semendinger *** In regard to the greatest #26 in Yankees' history, it really comes down to two But let's not get ahead of ourselves. *** The most worn uniform number in Yankees' history is #26. 74 Jimmy Hall (1969) and Johnny Oates (1980-81) both wore #26, but they weren't (nearly) as successful as that he will end up as the WAR leader and the player who had the longest years of service in uniform #26

Today I will reveal the #30-#26 Outfielders in the MLB and tomorrow, I will announce the #25-21 outfielders Now 37 years old, there are major questions on whether or not the Yankees will bring him back for a final After parts of 5 years in the MLB, Margot is still going into just his age-26 season and his trajectory Number 26: Kevin Pillar, Free Agent Top-5: Games, Innings Top-10: BsR Top-15: None Top-25: SB Top-35:

Judge not in lineup even before announcement on MRI / X rays (waited until 6pm and I have not seen an update.) Nothing official on Cortes either yet. DJ sits again -- injury?

pitching coaches and just about anyone else he could blame something on, and Don never got a chance at the ring If only he could have stuck around for one more season, he could have won a ring with the Yankees. Later found redemption and his ring in 1992 with Toronto. 

And I got a great view – within a foot or so – of Lou’s 1977 World Series ring.
