Since I am bored and have the time, I never liked the "Core 4" I always felt it should have been the "Fab 5" with Bernie included.
Of the fab 5, list YOUR favorites as they pertained to you. Don't do it based on stats, or looks (for some of you closet queens
) just overall favorite of those 5.
#5 Posada
#4 Jeter
#3 Burn Baby Burn
#2 Mo
#1 Pettitte
Bernie could be #2 for me, he was a monster in the clutch from 96-2000, ask me who I want up in a huge spot, playoffs/WS between Posada, Jeter, Williams - It's Williams for me.
Pettitte always seemed to pitch in the clutch and do well (Sans 2001 game 6) - He always seemed to rise to the occasion, and was never viewed or considered as an ace. But I think he was clutch ace in BIG games.
Mo was Mo, I mean almost overlooked and forsaken he was that good.
Jeet, as a Yankee fan, I always felt maybe a little overrated, don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining. He was a stud, but was it the protection in the lineup around him? Either way 3400 hits is amazing.
Is he a unanimous HOF tomorrow? I have to think some writer will leave him out based on his perceived cockiness or that he never hit for much power. I think he is Unanimous based on the era he did this all in, his durability, his flair for the clutch, and 5 WS RINGS. BUT I could see some saying no because of that "Over-Rated" stigma.
