Yankees Core Four returns for Old-Timers' Day

[@Luke_Groundwalker]

Love the Core Fore but we can't mention them without including Bernie Williams. The man spent his whole career with the Yanks and won 4 Rings. Another absolute Yankee Legend

[@ogg-men]

Bernie,I believe, belongs in the h.o.f.

[@chutzpah157]

oh yeah, Bernie Williams

[@vinnybrowne3653]

I was at the Jeffrey Maier game in 1996. From my seat in the upper deck off of first base, all I saw was Jeter hit a home run and tie the game. I remember Davey Johnson came out and they announced the Orioles were protesting the game, but me and my family had literally no idea why. While that became one of the most remembered moments of that post season, for me, in the stands, at that game, it was an important HR to tie the game, but the real hero and moment of that game was when Bernie hit the walk off home run to end the game. In the 4 train on the way home that night, it was Ber-nie Will-iams everyone was chanting while banging in the walls and roof of the train. Great memory, great Yankee.

[@MalEvansUSA]

Bernie Williams was not only a mediocre ball player. He sucks as a musician too. He can’t play guitar for shit

[@nastycivilian]

Yeah I don't know how he's left out, he got it started. My favorite Yankee just got it done.

Mariano Rivera is my personal Yankees GOAT. Yes, I understand there were better overall players in Yankees history, but he was the ultimate definition of a New York Yankee and the greatest closer in the history of the sport.

[@guntrader5652]

Mariano’s great but he’s no George Ruth

[@crazygambler920]

The guy is good - But he caused us the series with the BoSox. It was hard to swallow - depression for years over the lost. LOL!

[@ysamohammad8089]

Indeed!! You’re 100% totally right……

[@dtnetlurker]

True, Mariano was no Ruth, but he is the nicest to EVER play the game. The ONE and ONLY player in MLB history to be unanimously voted into the Hall of Fame! He was that good and that nice. SO much, that no one could bring themselves to vote against him.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

As an old soul Yankees fan for 1998, the core four STILL give me the chills... i miss those days.

[@stephen8623]

It will be a very long time (if ever) we get to see an amazingly talented group of baseball players like this. Thank you for countless good memories.

[@TRivera13]

When Old-Timers Day makes you feel old😂

[@matrinezkevin11492]

As a kid growing up in North Jersey in the 90s, posters of these guys covered every inch of me and my brother's room. There were ups and downs but these guys were true competitors with endless heart. Always felt the team just wasnt the same after The Boss and the core four were gone. Like the team just had their fangs ripped out of them.

[@qman66]

Ups and downs? They didn't really have any downs

[@dylanjanus]

This generation of Yankee greats look amazing for all being over 50 years old (OK Jeter's not quite there)... I could practically see them suiting up again! Here's to seeing all of them back at the stadium for another 50 years!

[@zackattack6756]

Man this is nostalgia for me at only 25. Andy Petite was my fav left hand pitcher and I always used Rivera's number on all my Jersey's playing little league and Jeter was my all time fav infielder. I miss these guys so much and I really hope to meat Jeter or Posada one day they were huge inspirations to me I remember as I would absolutely conquer the pitchback I had at 12 years old.

[@TheChocolat]

I was 16, grew up watching these guys. They were ALL bad asses, got heart and soul of the games. They play better with grit than this year Yanks. This is what we all miss😢

[@jacevogel8142]

[@Qhwilly]

Bernie is more deserved of the “Core Four” than Posada. Posada was a backup for the first two in 96/98 while Bernie carried the team. Change the name to Core Five. I know it doesn’t rhyme but it is accurate. Give Bernie his respect.

[@JackieDaytona1776]

Give Jorge a little more respect for '98 - he was more of a platoon with Girardi than a backup. He caught 99 games and started games 1 and 2 and pinch hit for Girardi in game 3. I think maybe 6 times a week about how much we took Posada's talent and role on the team for granted. Not taking ANYTHING away from Bernie, but Yankee fans know Bernie was a part of that core. Just how they know Gene Michael built that dynasty, not Brian Cashman. I get so irked when they try and act like Cashman built 4 championship teams, he bought one and has completely destroyed this franchise today, fire the guy.

[@kingshawukee]

Fab Five!

[@GeraldM_inNC]

A catcher is always more valuable than an outfielder, because there are so very few who can help the offense without killing you defensively.

[@JackieDaytona1776]

@@GeraldM_inNC I agree, but I would argue Bernie had bigger moments with multiple October walk offs. Posada was critical as a pillar of the team, but is there a reason I'm thinking the biggest hit of his career was a bloop single in the 8th off Pedro to score Hideki in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS? Yankee fans let me know if I'm missing any bigger moment and while I'm at it - fuck Pedro Martinez I still hate that POS

[@wayne-g2u]

Where do they get these people that talk to Jeter on the steps. ManPower? Nobody is professional anymore. Michael Kay just cared about his long boring monologue I think Jeter was like just call my name!!!!! I wonder if the Yankees will have the batboy with a stache and hippie hair collecting the bats today? Maybe a ciggy hanging from his mouth.

[@billybobsbrubek7309]

Not the same as in the old days when Mickey, Joe D., Whitey, and Yogi would wear the full uniform. And they played a game. But these are the Hal Steinbrenner Yankees who are focused on the bottom line and not championships. Buying full uniforms for the Old Timers would eat into profits.

[@MMAALL]

I don’t mind the absence of a game. Always worried about someone getting hurt or worse. Remember when Phil Rizzuto took a ground ball off his face. Made for some funny jokes with Bill White, but that could have been serious.

[@MachoKingMachout]
