A humble man of grace and dignity, Don Mattingly carried on the legacy of the pinstripe tradition and dedicated his career to the pursuit of excellence. "Donnie Baseball" rose from a long-shot 19th round draft pick in 1979 to become the 10th captain to be named by the Yankees in their storied history. The premier first baseman of his era (1982-1995), Mattingly won nine Gold Gloves, appeared in six All-Star Games and hit .307 over 14 seasons. In 1985 he earned American League Most Valuable Player honors when he hit .324 with 35 home runs and league leading 145 RBI. He also set records for most grand slams in a season (6), most home runs in seven consecutive games (9) and eight consecutive games (10). The Yankees retired his number 23 in 1997.

Yogi Berra is a true baseball legend. The Hall of Famer played for the Yankees from 1946-1963 and was the manager for the Yankees and Mets, leading both teams to a Pennant. During his illustrious baseball career he set many records including most games played in by a catcher (63) and times on a winning team (10). He was known as a wild swinger and would talk to the opposite team when they were up at bat. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.
