These guys help make a great childhood even greater

[@StraightTruckinSnowman]

As a lifelong Yankee fan I'm fortunate enough to call the Core Four, Fab Five to include Bernie and the other greats from the mid-late 90's aka the Torre years the era of baseball I grew up on.

[@NH-tb2sm]

The best years of baseball.

[@tommyzai7038]

Bernie never got enough respect. He was a star. Jeter was young, talented, and the face of baseball. But Bernie was the man!

[@robertopanameno479]

Makes me feel old I watched these guys playing in my teens!

[@greens294]

I know it’s now the Fab Five, but I’ll never understand how Bernie was left out of the “core four.” For their winning run in the late 90s, he was far more instrumental to the team than Posada (and I LOVE Posada). Such an underrated player, and deserves far more praise

[@LuckyDuckie115]

i like how matsui gets invited to be seated to all these events (Rivera, posada, derek, petitte...)

[@teaghanfinks5083]

Dennis Vu same. Love matsui

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Of course he does, he’s a Yankee great and he and Derek had a great relationship. Go-Go Godzilla!

[@nowrestlingiq7317]

Deservedly so, Matsui is the best Asian Yankee of all time

[@victorblock3421]

@@nowrestlingiq7317 He's a great Yankee. His race is irrelevant.

Rest in Peace Don Zimmer.

Great backgrounds and what happened in the past and he's a great baseball player of the New York Yankees in the home town of New York., City.. The people love him so much. And once again to him congratulations for everything .The 2 baseball player.. 😃🇺🇸⚾

Not a yankee fan but have to say the core four are greatness.

[@pablotroche3967]

every number the Yankees retire is very well deserved that is my opinión to me all deserve to me be Hall of Famer

[@randomtraveler9854]

As an Oriole fan and Yankee hater I found I actually miss this guy playing. Seams so weird not seeing 2 at Shortstop.

[@shageta456]

This was on my birthday

[@chrivison]

Damn bro I watched these dudes when I was in little league

[@TheBatugan77]

Core Four? Fab Five? Shoot! The whole damn team was great! The 1996-2001 Yankees! We'll never see the likes of it agsin!

[@williamsweeney6835]

I’m a braves fan 96 broke my heart but I have to admit 96 to 01 yanks were epic

@william. If wholers would have just kept throwing fastballs instead of a slider the Braves would have won. Amazing one pitch cost them the series.

Good thing "the stick" and Zim aren't here to see what has happened to this once great nation and to all professional sports.

[@GhostGuyExplorations412]

Where players call out injustices instead of sitting by and not using their platform for positivity? Yeah that’s an abomination and all these players should be crucified.

[@PeterOkeefe54]

@@GhostGuyExplorations412 justice is for common law courts to decide. This is what positivity?? its called BS in the real world. Helping to cripple freedom and sexual issues are not baseball

[@___David___Savian]

When Bernie came out, you could tell he felt uncomfortable when while sitting next to Jackson the crowd started yelling BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE. That was weird because usually Jackson was the man that received those cheers when everybody would yell REGGIE REGGIE REGGIE !! That's exactly what Bernie was thinking at that moment. But, Reggie didn't mind Bernie getting those cheers because Bernie is Puerto Rican and Reggie is half Puerto Rican. So, Reggie felt proud of Bernie at that moment at 7:19.

[@chrivison]

I connected with you…

[@lawrencerdugo8020]

Jorge !!

[@jbustop]

If anyone deserved 100% 1st place votes, or @ least being on every sports writer’s ballot was Jeter, and as we saw Mariano!

[@miss-astronomikal-mcmxcvii]

When Jeter left, I stopped watching Yankees games. We took away a charitable man and a class act from the greatest baseball team in history, but still allowed A-Hole, the money-hungry, arrogant, "unlucky" #13, to make a joke out of himself and the team that has housed so many baseball greats by showing himself off after he came out as a steroid user?

[@KempeIzGud]

who is "we" lol?

[@NH-tb2sm]

Baseball stopped for me when Jeter left.

[@conpop6924]

Rip gene michael died a couple months after this

[@joes3844]

The problem I have with these ceremonies is that the Yankees retire too many numbers this should be for immortals only just cheapens it

[@Yooncelebtarot]

yankees can retire as many numbers as they want. they retire players who have done great achievements as a player and as a yankee. It's not their fault that so many greats have played for the Yankees.

[@alanconnelly3921]

Hey Yanks have so much history can't take that away

[@jack_fitz34]

Cringe every time they step on the first base line

[@punpun1960]

松井人気あるなー！

[@znhait]

I know labeling groups of players by certain name is mostly a marketing scheme, but I think this one is very misleading. Although Bernie is a bit older than the "core four," he was as instrumental as anyone in the Yankees winning four out of five World Series between '96 and '01. During those years, he was probably the Yankees' best outfield player. I like Posada, but in terms of ability, he's the one who doesn't belong.

[@hr1meg]

Steve Cantave Its all marketing B.S. From 1991 to 2003 no one mentioned anything about core four. There were five guys playing together. Petite leaves to Houston and doesn't come back until 2007, and now suddenly there is all this talk about core four? In 2004 the four lifetime Yankees were Bernie, Mariano, Derek, and Jorge. After that they start retiring. Why does it become four when Andy rejoins in 2007? There was already four when he left. If anything lets call it three since Andy, Mariano, and Derek all arrived in 1995. Or we can go even further, Mariano and Derek came in 1995 and played until 2013 together on the same club. Andy is the odd man out since he is the only one to have left the Yankees, and played 4 season for the Astros. I have no problems with Posada being the odd man out since he arrived to a team that already had a World Series title without him. [ Bernie 1991-2006, Mariano 1995-2013, Andy 1995-2003 / 2007-2010, Derek 1995-2013, Jorge 1997-2011]

[@dme1016]

Steeve Cantave You're right, but marketing couldn't come up with a rhyme for "five". But Bernie was a smooth Yankee, & belongs in that group.

[@Yooncelebtarot]

bernie has his number retired. the yankees know that the fans know. bernie was and will always be a beloved yankee.

[@matthewvitka4455]

Forget the "core four." It's the Fab Five

[@waynej2608]

Williams and Posada both deserve to be part of the 'core'. Imho.

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

I hate this "core four" shit. It leaves out Bernie, O'Neill, Cone and Tino who were all part of every championship in the dynasty years 1996-2001.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

[@thebambino4728]

I LOVE Jeter but he NEVER should have said that being a MAJOR LEAGUE BALLPLAYER was a GRIND on ESPN during the game ! That was the ONLY time he's ever opened his mouth and made himself LOOK LIKE A HORSE'S ASS !! It was a pretentious AND arrogant statement considering ALL that being a big league ballplayer HAS GIVEN HIM !! Try doing MY JOB for 20 years Derek and THEN you might HAVE A CLUE as to the meaning of the word " GRIND " !!

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

This is not about you or whatever job you do. He was speaking from his perspective and you have to respect that. Jeter very rarely took any days off, he always hustled (unlike many other players) and he often played with injuries. A MLB season is 162 games and that is a GRIND. I think you are just mad that those guys get paid millions and you don't. Hey man, that's the breaks.

[@thebambino4728]

You DO have good points but him making millions has NOTHING to do with it ! He just should have been SMARTER and THOUGHT ABOUT how what he said would sound like TO ALL OF US FANS who have to get up everyday and really GRIND out a living ! Baseball is a FUCKING GAME - it's not THE REAL WORLD at all . Like I said , I'm one of his BIGGEST fans - the guy has ALWAYS been the meaning of the word "CLASS" but THIS TIME HE DROPPED THE BALL A BIT !

[@fordanaeuxx]

The Bambino to get to that level is a grind. To be a superstar on that level is a grind. He worked his ass off to be good at what he's good at. Don't what he should've done or what he should've said. His work ethic is tops. Baseball may have been a game to you but it was his career. Try to play baseball and grind it out to his level, maybe you'll think twice before saying his road to the majors wasn't a grind.

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

Derek Jeter is one of the smartest and classiest guys to ever play the game. He always said the right thing. Just because you didn't like what he said, that doesn't make him a horse's ass. It is the REAL WORLD...it is just not our world. Baseball is a game and they get paid millions to play it...BUT IT IS A GRIND. Why do you think they call the summer months of baseball...THE DOG DAYS? Because by the time they get to long hot days in July and August they are worn out. They often have aches and pains but they play thru it. There is no other sport like baseball. It is 162 games which makes it a MARATHON not a sprint. That is what he meant by it being a GRIND. And if him saying that is the worst complaint you have about the guy...then you have no complaints.

[@thebambino4728]

He is THE SMARTEST GUY to have ever played IN ANY SPORT in my opinion but it doesn't change the fact that he DIDN'T THINK THIS ONE OUT ! I guarantee you that I'm FAR from the only one that feels that way too.

[@dme1016]

If not for Bernie Williams, these four would've veen the Bore Four. Bernie Williams made the Yanks go. These guys were important ekenents, but Bernie was the man. Without him, these guys don't get all those rings. Plus, he's not a Donald Trump ass-kisser like Mariano.
