Mel Hall, Luis Polonia, Chad Curtis, Jim Leyritz, Domingo German. ‘Leyritz’ ????? Really? A surprise nomination, what did you dislike so much about him?

When they have to make the conversion from playing a game to make a living to doing something “adult”…and can’t handle it…

I couldn't stand Boggs, and slowly came to really embrace him (not literally, gossipers) after he came to NY.

No Stephen Drew or Brian Roberts? Drew, another Yankee fan whipping boy, went on to have a fairly productive 2 years with the Nats... .261 / .325 / .458 / .783 Roberts was at the end of a very nice 13 year career with the O's. .278 / .349 / .412 / .761

Back then we said an at bat did not start until there were two strikes. I don't know if that would work today given the general increase in pitching velocity.

I hate him because he was a Red Sock and he got a free ride to the WS with the Yankees Boggs riding around on the back of the Police horse is one of the most disgusting images in Yankee history

The curse of the Bambino is over but I loved seeing the Ex-Sox experience winning in Pinstripes while the Sox didn't

Wow, Wade Boggs…I think I‘ve heard it all. And here I was thinking he was one of the most beloved Yankees that was part of those dynasty teams in the Mid-To-Late-1990’s.
I’m guessing you dislike Johnny Damon too and hated it when he came here for the 06 season even though he was essential for the 09 championship???

Frank Thomas and Johnny Damon were my favorite NON Yankee players. I loved when he signed in Pinstripes.
