The winner in the Home Run Derby in 2011

New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano(notes) proved as much on Monday night, winning the 2011 Home Run Derby as his father Jose Cano — a former pitcher for the Houston Astros — threw him baseballs through all three rounds. Cano outlasted seven other sluggers at Chase Field and chased down Boston Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez(notes) in the final round with 12 home runs.
The father-son tandem breathed a little bit of soul — created a signature moment, really — into what was otherwise an uneventful contest that lasted about three hours. After the younger Cano tied Gonzalez with a blast into the right-field stands, both men shared a gigantic bear hug near the mound. "I love you dad," said Robinson Cano in a clear statement that wasn't difficult to lip-read.
One homer later, Cano had won the Derby, averaging 433 feet over his total of 32 blasts and becoming the fourth straight left-hander to win the competition.

The best pitchers in the New York Yankees

William Roger Clemens (born August 4, 1962), nicknamed "Rocket", is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who broke into the league with the Boston Red Sox, whose pitching staff he would help anchor for 12 years. Clemens won seven Cy Young Awards, more than any other pitcher. He played for 4 different teams over his 23 year playing career. In each of his two seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, Clemens won the pitching triple crown (leading the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts) and a Cy Young Award.
Clemens was traded to the New York Yankees for the 1999 season, where he had his first World Series success. In 2003, he reached his 300th win and 4,000th strikeout in the same game. Clemens is one of only four pitchers to have more than 4,000 strikeouts in their career (the others are pitchers Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, and Steve Carlton). Clemens played three seasons with the Houston Astros, where he won his seventh Cy Young Award. He rejoined the New York Yankees during the 2007 season.
Clemens was alleged by the Mitchell Report to have used anabolic steroids during his late career, mainly because of testimony given by his former trainer, Brian McNamee.[1] Clemens firmly denied these allegations under oath before Congress, leading congressional leaders to refer his case to the Justice Department on suspicions of perjury.[2] On May 12, 2009, he broke a long silence to speak out on ESPN against American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastime, a book by four New York Daily News investigative reporters that claims Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs during his career.[3]

Mariano Rivera (born November 29, 1969) is a Panamanian right-handed baseball pitcher who has spent his entire 17-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career with the New York Yankees. Nicknamed "Mo",[1] Rivera has served as a relief pitcher for most of his career, and since 1997, he has been the Yankees' closer. A 12-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, Rivera ranks first in MLB history in games finished (857) and second in saves (580). His achievements include winning the American League (AL) Rolaids Relief Man Award five times, the 1999 World Series MVP Award, and the 2003 AL Championship Series MVP Award.
Rivera was signed by the Yankees organization in 1990 as an amateur free agent in Panama, and he debuted in the Major Leagues in 1995 as a starting pitcher. Upon converting to a relief pitcher, he found success, first as a setup man in 1996, and then as the Yankees' closer after assuming the role in 1997. In the years following, he established himself as one of the league's top relievers, leading the Major Leagues in saves in 1999, 2001, and 2004. His presence in the late innings of games to record the final outs has played an instrumental role in the Yankees' success, particularly the team's late-1990s dynasty. His pitching repertoire consists primarily of one pitch—a sharp-breaking, mid-90s mile per hour (mph) cut fastball that has been called an all-time great pitch.[2]

My Favorite Player in the New York Yankees

Mark Charles Teixeira (pronounced /teɪˈʃɛrə/ tay-sherr; born April 11, 1980, in Annapolis, Maryland), nicknamed "Tex" is an American Major League Baseball player for the New York Yankees. Mostly a first baseman, he has also played third base and in the outfield. He played college baseball at Georgia Tech, where in 2001 he won the Dick Howser Trophy as the national collegiate baseball player of the year.
Teixeira was drafted in 2001 by the Texas Rangers, and made his MLB debut for them in 2003. In mid-2007 he was traded to the Atlanta Braves, and traded again in mid-2008 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In December 2008, he agreed to a contract with the New York Yankees. Teixeira has won four Gold Glove Awards and three Silver Slugger Awards.

The best shortstop in the history in the New York Yankees.

In my lifetime, there have been very few things in the sports world that remain constant. As a New Yorker, the most important one is this: the New York Yankees will contend for a World Series banner each and every year.
It is comforting to know that there is an organization that cares about titles, especially when sharing a city with teams like the New York Mets and New York Knicks, who may be equally as consistent at losing as the Yankees are at winning.
The Yankees have been great in so many different eras, it is important go back and look at what the trends are amongst them.
The most prevalent throughout every Yankee dynasty is strong hitters and strong leaders.
Derek Jeter combines both of those things so seamlessly in his never-ending hunger for greatness.
When all is said and done, Jeter will undoubtedly be enshrined in monument park next to greats like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. To be mentioned in the same sentence with those legends is the greatest achievement a ballplayer could ever hope for.

The most expensive player in the MLB is in The New York Yankees. We are talking about Alex Rodriguez well·known A·Rod

Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodríguez Navarro, apodado A-Rod (nacido el 27 de julio de 1975 en Washington Heights) es un tercera base estadounidense de origen dominicano que juega en las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol militando actualmente en los Yanquis de Nueva York. Anteriormente jugaba en el shortstop para los Marineros de Seattle, y luego para los Rangers de Texas.
Rodríguez es considerado uno de los mejores jugadores de béisbol de todos los tiempos.[1] [2] [3] Es el jugador más joven en conectar 500 jonrones, rompiendo el récord establecido por Jimmie Foxx en 1939, y el más joven en llegar a los 600, superando el récord de Babe Ruth por más de un año. Rodríguez tiene catorce temporadas de 100 carreras impulsadas en su carrera, más que cualquier otro jugador en la historia. El 24 de septiembre de 2010, Rodríguez conectó dos jonrones, superando la marca de Sammy Sosa de 609 jonrones, y convirtiéndose en el líder de todos los tiempos en jonrones para un jugador de ascendencia hispana.[4]
En diciembre de 2007, Rodríguez y los Yankees acordaron un contrato de 10 años por $275 millones de dólares. Este contrato fue el más grande en la historia del béisbol (rompiendo su récord anterior de $252 millones de dólares).[5

The best player in the history of the New York Yankees

George Herman Ruth (n. Baltimore, 6 de febrero de 1895 - m. Nueva York, 16 de agosto de 1948), más concido como Babe Ruth, fue uno de los jugadores profesionales de béisbol de Grandes Ligas de mayor talento y más populares de la historia. Ruth despertó del letargo a este deporte durante sus primeros años con los Yankees debido al escándalo de juegos arreglados en la temporada de 1919. Desde ahí formó una leyenda alrededor de su persona tanto dentro como fuera del campo: sus numerosos récords, anécdotas, su pasíón por la vida nocturna, su desmedida inclinación por la comida y la bebida que le hacián poseer una oronda figura muy lejos de lo que hoy llamariamos deportista y su popularidad entre los niños y tantos otros aspectos lo convirtieron en un ícono estadounidense por excelencia.

New York Yankees

The 2009 New York Yankees season was the 107th season for the New York Yankees franchise. The Yankees opened their new Yankee Stadium on April 3, 2009, when they hosted an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs. The new stadium hosted its first regular-season game on April 16, when the Yankees played the Cleveland Indians[1][2] and their first playoff game against the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS on October 7, 2009. The Yankees swept the Twins in three games to win the divisional series. They won their 40th American League pennant on October 25, 2009, defeating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in six games to advance to the World Series, where they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games to win their 27th World Series on November 4, 2009.
