All-Yankees Team of My Lifetime: Fan Opinion (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
When building an all-New York Yankees team, how can I choose just one player at each position? Think about it: Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson for right field; Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio for centerfield; Lou Gehrig, Chris Chambliss, Don Mattingly at first; Bill Dickey and Yogi...

Yankees honor Roger Maris’ 61 homer season (AP)
Fifty years have passed and others have since broken the season home run record. To the families of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, Maris' 61 in 1961 remains the legitimate number. "The family feels that it's his record, also knowing that is arguable with a lot of people," Roger Maris Jr., said Saturday before the Yankees culminated a season-long commemoration of the Maris-Mantle...

Jeter to become first in pinstripes to 3,000 hits (AP)
The 3,000 Hit Club is an elite group of baseball's greats. Musial. Ripken. Cobb. Mays. Not one of the 27, though, joined while wearing a Yankees uniform. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig never did it. Neither did Joe DiMaggio or Mickey Mantle. Same for Bernie Williams and Don Mattingly. There's an All-Star roll call of Yankees who came up short for reasons that include illness, injury, wartime service...

Fan perspective: The Yankees’ Manny Banuelos could be this year’s ‘feel good’ find (Associated Content)
It's difficult to find a "feel good, rookie-makes-the-bigs" story when you cover the New York Yankees. They remain my favorite team for many reasons, but even I recognize some of their drawbacks. Mickey Mantle may have started with the team as a rookie in 1951 to become the Hall of Fame player he was. But in 2011, either general manager Brian Cashman or manager Joe Girardi would have vetoed the Okie and signed a former outstanding player for millions.

2011 New York Yankees spring training schedule in Florida (Associated Content)
For the love of baseball My love for baseball comes not just because I played softball for many years as a child and as an adult, but because baseball is American. I loved to hear the stories of Yankee greats: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. Yankees fly south Each year the New York Yankees fly south for the winter to the George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida. Steinbrenner was the former owner of the Yankees from 1973 until he died of a heart attack at the age of 80 in July 2010.

Reaction to death of Yankees owner Steinbrenner (AP)
Quotes on New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died Tuesday at age 80: "George was a giant of the game and his devotion to baseball was surpassed only by his devotion to his family and his beloved New York Yankees. He was and always will be as much of a New York Yankee as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford and all of the other Yankee...
