Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter and now Robinson Cano.  Those are the only five Yankees to collect 1,500 hits before the age of 31.

The USA Today recently reported in its "For The Win" section that Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle corked bats late in his career.  What does this mean?  Let's break it down.

Since 1996, the face of the most famous American sports team has been one man.  The shortstop.  The eventual captain.  #2.  The future Hall of Famer.  Derek Sanderson Jeter.  2013 seems like such a strange year without him.

Derek Jeter can add yet another record to his long Yankees' resume.

The Yankees are the model franchise in Major League Baseball.  They've won 27 World Series titles, they got the Pinstripes and the tradition. There have been many great players in Yankee history.  So who is the best?
