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]

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
