Hundreds of players have donned pinstripes for the New York Yankees in the 21st century, but which ones have been the best?
In 12 seasons since 2000, the Yankees have clinched 11 playoff berths, four American League pennants and two World Series championships.
Here is the all-century 25-man roster of past and current New York Yankees who have contributed to the franchise’s success in the new millennium. The dates listed in the slide titles are the seasons they spent in New York.
*Note: Each player was assessed solely on his post-2000 Yankee career. For example, David Cone—an excellent starting pitcher in the late 1990s—went 4-14 with a 6.91 ERA in 2000, his final season in the Bronx. Understandably, he did not make this prestigious list.
