Yankees centerfielders. That's the Yankees dynasty. 100 years ago, Babe Ruth made his debut in centerfield for the Yankees, setting them in motion for the Yankees 27 World Series in 100 years. Since then, legends like Earle Combs of the Murderer's Row Yankees, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Rickey Henderson, Bernie Williams, and more have player centerfield for the Bronx Bombers. Many don't realize that Rickey played center during the Rickey Henderson Yankees years, as he's commonly thought of as a left fielder.
In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I'll be looking at the 1920 Yankees all the way up to the 2020 Yankees, and we'll look to the future in the form of the Jasson Dominguez Yankees which could give New York success in center for years to come. In truth, some of the MLB best centerfielders wore pinstripes, but the Yankees also had plenty of great performances from athletes who simply played their part. This includes guys like Bobby Murcer and Curtis Granderson. Hopefully you'll enjoy this video about how Yankees CF transformed MLB.

Duke Snider, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Andruw Jones, Curtis Granderson as only CFs to have back to back 40 homer seasons in MLB history? I'm pretty sure Ken Griffey Jr did it at least once right?
You're correct! I thought I had put Griffey in there, but apparently I only had him on the .800 OPS / 2k hit list. The Kid went back-to-back in 1993-94, and also had five straight seasons from 1996-2000. I will pin this comment so everyone can see it.
Chronusx yeah he hit 56 back to back
Griffey had 5 straight such seasons from 1996 to 2000
Griffey would’ve done it way more times but he battled injuries
Good Looks My Dude. 😉
"To this day it's the most home runs hit in a season by anyone who didn't have to testify to congress about it later." FOOLISH NO LMAO
It's quite the category
Stanton could have got there :(
Foolish, yes
that was a class jab
@@PHDFlopperr you know people typically have to juice to get to 60 if a 6'6" 240+lbs Titan in Stanton couldn't get there. Even if he did that year, it'd be right at 60 and not 66,70, or 73...
2022: Aaron Judge played majority of the season at centrefield, and broke Maris's Home run record and most likely the AL MVP
Elmer Miller has the first playoff at bat in Yankees history.
Well that is actually a very interesting fact
I don’t that is a real name
Belueve
nvm
Goated
And now CF Judge chasing Maris’ record. From one Yankee CF to another 🤝
"but ran into the documentarian's dream Seattle Mariners"
I smell a Jon Bois reference! That was an excellent doc!
It wasn't just John. Foolish and UrinatingTree also dropped videos on them in the same week as the dorktown announcement iirc.
@@tiltmasterflex7220 No, it's definitely only Jon Bois. He's the only person ever who made entertaining videos on CZcams, this is a known fact.
@@srj34 I mean... he's Pretty Good
@@kylec.4432 it's even funnier the 1,821th time!
Rickey ain’t pressured by New York. Rickey’s condo got a view of the Entire State Building!
Woah, the entire state?!
Plus he got his million dollar check mailed to the wall
Jon Bois
the man could fly like Superman though, let him have his view lol
Fun aside:
Mike Trout was set to go to the Yankees, but the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira and had to give a compensation pick to the Angels... imagine the CF dynasty then 👀
hello fuzzy
i just had that thought, it's like we missed trout and the Yankees had the anti-dynasty, a decade long drought...
Hey Fuzzy nice to see you here!
Oh man it hurts my heart to hear that
Fuzzy I love your vids
The last time I was this early, Shibe Park was still standing.
Last time I was this early, Foolish Baseball was still responding to comments
Can’t wait until Bill James makes the Mathis an actual stat, as well as the Jeff Mathis award for best defenders that had bad batting averages
I want The Mathis displayed on MLB's website.
I remember one year (fairly sure it was 2012) where Andrew McCutchen won a Gold Glove in center despite having a pretty bad season fielding-wise, but he hit really well, and Clint Barmes hit horribly but fielded really well and didn't win at shortstop. The awards aren't biased at all! /s
@@blue_manatee3895 Yeah I remember it. Star power means everything. Same could be said about Jeter. He was at best an average shortstop defensively but he won like 6 gold gloves.
@@talhakarsloglu4278 One of the big things that contributed to his later Gold Gloves was that his Field Percentage was tops in the league
@@talhakarsloglu4278 lol yeah his last gold glove year he had 22 errors
Who else finds it so satisfying at 6:19 when the emphasized syllables are lined up perfectly with the contact
Yes I love it
Brett Gardeners head is HUGE in the thumbnail 😂
Brett Gardner’s head is huge in real life
he looks like megamind lmaoooooo
Big brain
Seth Fulton damnit beat me to it
Waiting for the Max Scherzer video. Dude pitched 2 no hitters (1 should’ve been a perfect game), pitched a 20K game, pitched with a literal black eye and broken nose, and pitched game 7 of the World Series after getting a cortisone shot just 2 days prior
He has a literal black eye and a literal blue eye
Too angry to get injured lol
My coach played with him, when asked to describe him my coach called him psychopathic, he never showed emotion, it was just normal and mad
Definition of a different breed
Could be be baits since I’m a nats fan but also the best pitcher rn
When he mentioned Joe, Ms Robinson just started blasting in my head and then he mentioned it.
Fun fact: it was actually supposed to be a Mickey Mantle namedrop (Paul Simon's favorite player), but the syllables in his name didn't fit the song's rhythm.
Foolish Baseball
Did you get that from “Summer of ‘49?” by David Halberstam?
@@FoolishBaseball The Lemonheads covered "Mrs. Robinson" in the early 90's. But Evan Dando is no Paul Simon.
edalder2000 The Lemonheads are garbage
edalder2000 Yeah, they said later that they hated the song and when you listen to the cover, you can kinda tell.
Of course, no one likes the Lemonheads either.
3:46 Those 1941 stats for Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams are INSANE! I mean, I know they're two of the game's all time greats, but DAMN
"No way he's 17."
"...out of the Dominican Republic."
"Exactly."
Dude is 100% 24😂😂
he's at least 28 bruh, and on roids
Do people really still that Latin Age Fraud is actually a thing? Because that's not backed up by history at all. It's a flawed, false stereotype.
I love how no one gets mad about baseball media talking about Trout a lot like you might with lebron or Brady. He’s just kind of the best and everyone loves him
There’s just some things in life that are accepted
I bet it's because he's been saddled with a poor team around him. If Trout had won a couple of rings, the tune would be different.
Man I never knew that about Mickie Mantle. That is tragic in a way that he injured himself so young. Who knows what he was truly capable of
I wonder if his favorite memory at Yankee Stadium would still be getting that blowjob under the right field bleachers
easily could have been the GOAT
Mantle is a true badass for not only coming back from those horrific injuries and still having a Hall of Fame career, but still being able to do that on an un repaired ACL!
Yay. Always awesome when a new FB vid comes out!
Always exciting to upload one on my side!
Foolish Baseball you’re a Yankees fan? Cool!
@@ryanouimet No I hate the Yankees.
Foolish Baseball oh ok. I do too
Who’s your favorite team then?
I SEE THAT DORKTOWN REFERENCE YOU SNEAKY YOU! THOUGHT YOU WERE CLEVER EH!?
I'm not sure what the Dorktown reference is here.
@@FoolishBaseball talking about the Mariners, playing for their lives? There was only a 6 part documentary on it recently.
@@frenchfrey65 Oh, duh. I finished this video about 10 days ago so I kinda forgot about that part xD
Foolish Baseball I want to see a Venn diagram of JB and FB fans. And one of y’all needs to make a video showing what percentage of inside-the-park HRs are legit, not due to injury, error, or defensive indifference.
@@bernier42 maybe it's the quarantine, but I'm ready to watch that content!
2022, Aaron Judge (CF) Yankees, on pace for 65 HRs, and currently having one of greatest offensive seasons ever
Neon Deion!
Maris' 61 is still AL record.
My dad was actually neighbors with Mickey Mantle when he was a kid! He lived in Dallas like Mantle, and even though he was only a kid, we have a balled signed by him in the dining room.
3:04 i bet that "W" in Hack Wilson's name is driving you nuts
11:01 Bon Jois
2 years later- Aaron Judge is nicely continuing this tradition this year
Crazy to think a drain pipe in the middle of the outfield almost ended Mickey Mantles career
Damn it feels good to be early. Also, a bit cool to see new ad
bag secured
Well the athletic just fired like half their staff so they’re probably not spending too much on ads right now.
@@Letterman0412 lol
8:02 WOW! Stand up comedy, Acting, and baseball. Richard Pryor really could do IT ALL!
and now, judge is continuing the dynasty
Finally a Yankees video
It's been a long time coming
It's about f****ing time. It'd be like doing a channel on world-changing/shaping inventions (physical and intellectual) and not including any from light-skinned males of European descent. Ridiculous, absurd, and tedious.
Another great video bailey! I don't know much about baseball history so I have been enjoying some of these more recent ones that talk about baseball history, and make it relevant to the present.
Another phenomenal video! Growing up in the mid-2000s, Bernie Williams was my favorite player because I remembered him as the big bat outfielder that would get hits. I think that I still have a replica jersey with his number to this day.
The Redsox did the samething in left field, going from Ted Williams to Carl Yastrzemski to Jim Rice all three hall of famers
Whenever I see a new video of yours pop up on my feed I stop what I’m doing because I know it’s gonna be a great one. Love your work man
This was very interesting! I never realized that Yankee Centerfielders were that dominant for that long!
They had a good run of catchers, too. Dickey --> Berra --> Howard --> Munson.
@@Tuning_Spork fun fact, I have a Thermun Munson bat from burger king promotion day from a long time ago.
@@Tuning_Spork don't forget posada
One of your best videos so far. Super interesting and funny and sick, really enjoyed it. Keep it up!
Used to go to a few Yankee games a year always in the bleachers in left center... i think that made me love the position and respect the legends who've played there
14:56 ... and then Judge hit 62. Sometimes, predicting the future can be hard.
I never realized just how my team dominated that position, and we got the Martian incoming!!!!
Hey, this is a good video. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you.
Yo league
I always look forward to your videos so much and you never disappoint, thank you man
Your videos are so good dawg. This one finally earned my sub
Woooaahhhh yankeee with no brim
Let’s get this over with.
Brim with nooooooo yankeeeee
let me go around this hat
Keep up the great content man!
Thanks, I'll try!
I'm in tears man, this is an awesome video
Bernie can also play the guitar and sing simultaneously. He rakes in the sound department!
I absolutely cannot wait for Jasson Dominguez to play in the majors. If we ever trade him I’ll go insane
he's a big boy
They would be crazy to do that
Rest in Peace Bobby Murcer.
Also Rest In Peace to Elmer Miller and Whitey Witt.
“Most home runs hit in a season without having to testify to congress about it” should be an officially recognized MLB record.
I love the subtle hat-tip to SB nations Mariners series :D
Who's here after judge hit 62 in CF
Here's the thing, name the position, you've got a good chance of having similar results with the Yankees.
And you should. I'd happily watch. Of course, I'm a Yankee fan.
Another solid video as always, great stuff FB.
You could make a similar video on Yankee catchers - Bill Dicky to Yogi Berra to Elston Howard to Munson, with minor entries like Rick Cerone and Butch Wyneger bridging the gap to Posada and Sanchez
How is Griffey Jr not on the list of CF with consecutive 40-HR seasons? The dude did it multiple times (93-94, 96-00)
Nvm I just saw someone else’s comment where you acknowledged this. My b.
The Yankees have always had a great center fielder Brett Gardner...
Don’t forget, even Andrew Jones played in New York for one season. It wasn’t anything special, but it just adds to the great players who roamed center field for the Yanks.
Bro if his son is what he projects to be it’s finna be scary sights (btw amdruw Jones should be in the hall of fame)
With Judge being the Yankees de facto CF this season this video is already aging quite well.
Don't know how I forgot to give a 👍 yesterday. Hundred-year connection any of us could have seen - but you brought it out.
I'm a Cardinals fan and don't much care for the Yankees - but I have to give them their due. It's not just deep pockets that fueled their success. Come on! Lou Gehrig was a New Yorker and Reggie Jackson admired the organization at a distance.
Of course they have the money but they have a history of getting the right people at the right time. Not just players: front office talent, management, scouts, development personnel. Just a smart organization that usually knows how to capitalize on its opportunities. Sure, they let Willie McGee get away - but how often has that happened?
Baseball wouldn't be Baseball without the Yankees....
As a Yankees fan....this fills my evil soul!
Look bro I love you for bringing back my love for baseball , never got into the history of the sport I really only played it my whole life 😂 no biggie , I’m hooked and the old school video game feel is just gold man
Even more amazing content! Absolutely my favorite CZcams channel!
I’d love to see this with other positions and other teams..
Earle Combs is probably the only person ever mentioned in a Foolish Baseball video who began his baseball career playing for a coal company team in Eastern Kentucky.
Rodger Maris was born in ND, and I live there. It’s great to see him in an FB vid XD
God damn. I love your writing style.
Could we do a video on "Brady Anderson and other One Year Wonders"?
Junior hit 40 hr+ 5 years in a row at cf... how do you forget to add him to the list of 40 hr back to back list😭
Good job on 80 vids and 100k i love ur content and have been subbed since 30k... ty for the great content
Thank you for the support!
I used to love your ootp baseball, but theese are evn better :D
This is even better in 2022 with Aaron Judge
That documentary about the Seattle Mariners was pretty good.
This one is even better.
You didn't recognize the Jon Bois reference? ;)
You just gotta include Bernie in the Core Four, so in my eyes it was always the Fab Five
As a kid growing up a half hour from the city in the 90s, I thought Bernie Williams was their top star at the time. I don't know what that means, but to 8-year-old Yankee-hating me, he was that dude.
Latin Grammy nominee too, so hey.
@@RetepAdam As an adult in the 1990s and watching a lot of baseball, I think Bernie was the 2nd best player on the team , behind Rivera. He batted in the #4 slot, as a switch hitter who played great defense. I don't know the saber metrics stuff, but I personally saw Bernie get to line drives in the alley that looked like sure extra base hits and rob guys all the time. his speed was a serious defensive advantage. Another interesting fact, in the 2003 WS loss by the Yankees, Bernie led all players in avg, HR and RBI (wasn't a lot of runs, but still Bernie led both teams)
@@PFB1994 Bernie, Posada, Jeter, and Pettite were waaaaaay better than Rivera.
Mariano was awesome at his job, but being a one inning closer has minimal value no matter how great you are. It's like being a dominant FG kicker.
That's why Mariano has a lower WAR than Dave Stieb despite his WAR surpassing all other one inning closers by a mile.
@@AsavageEP Rivera was in more games than Posada in the 99 world series. Girardi caught a lot during that run. And Rivera had a lot of 2 inning saves.
@@PFB1994 One series is a small sample size. Mark Lemke was bonkers in the '91 series. It doesn't make him more valuable than Ted Williams.
The Save is a legit stupid stat. He did have a good amount of 2 inning saves over his 19 year career, but nowhere near the all time leaders, and again, Saves are bad stat.
Brett Gardner in the thumbnail is definitely my pick for the nickname "the Martian."
Well done, FB... this is your centerpiece!
11:02 ok Foolish don't think I don't see you subtly *referencing Jon Bois*
I wonder what teams excel at the other positions like how LSU is DBU
Red Sox at LF is pretty crazy. Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim rice, Mike greenwell, manny Ramirez, and now Andrew benintendi who has a bright future. Pretty much all back to back
I'm 22 so I didnt see the 90s dynasty they had , so that 2009 championship is everything to me , but being a fan since a little kid I just want to say I love the Yankees because we know how to draft all time players , we got the next kid on the way Jasson Dominguez
Besides being a great human and one of the most underrated ballplayers of all time Bernie has something no CF at his level does. A Grammy nomination. Kudos to the Renaissance Man!!!
Thank you for the content. Just wondering if you can do a video about the shift killing Ryan Howard’s career with Philly.
The shift is definitely interesting. I'd have to look its relationship with Ryan Howard further. There's still plenty of slow, pull-happy lefties in today's MLB.
Foolish Baseball true it’s just crazy how he went basically from the best baseball player in the league by far with Ken Griffey Jr popularity to nothing.
7 seconds in and it is already a great video
You didn't even make it past the sponsor! lol
Foolish, these videos are the best! This what baseball is about!
First game as a Yankee at Shibe? Kind of changes the perspective of every bomb I hit over that wall with 99 signature Babe Ruth in MLB the SHOW...
I thought the section titled “the Martian” was going to be about gardener
Megamind
The dislikes are all center fielders from different teams.
Great stuff as always
It’s kinda amazing this video came out before Judge’s 2022 season in Center Field
You missed the best player to ever play in CF. The camera in centerfield of MMP is clearly the best
As a classic rock nerd I love the Simon and Garfunkel reference
Amazing video keep up the great work
Not much of a regular baseball watcher myself but I'm loving all of your vids
“He wasn’t a great defender.. but still won 4 gold gloves so maybe I just don’t know anything”😅
I really covered all my bases there.
4 more than Mike Trout. Also, Derek Jeter won 5 gold gloves.
He hit well enough to win a gold glove.
The fact that most awards/hall voters and sportswriters are on the east coast really helped those two win nine gold gloves.
@@mcpootis7796 And the fact that the man who devised the criteria for advanced fielding metrics is a lifelong Red Sox fan may account for the fact that every and any Yankee of note now has a decreased valuation in this category.
What if Mickey would’ve had the proper treatment and had been playing on a healthy knee. Could’ve he been the best player ever.
Can not get enough of Baseball Bits. I think this is the 4th time I've watched this one.
This is one of the best videos you have made so far.
Babe Ruth is so weird to me. Look at him in the picture at 2:17 - his head looks photoshopped onto his body. Looking at other images of him, he doesn't look athletic AT ALL, but he OBVIOUSLY was. He played center field, but he's got the body of a history teacher!
Sidenote: Joe DiMaggio's slide at 4:02 is atrocious! Lmao!
Joe was actually a very smart baserunner haha. I like how aggressive the slide was, imagine if someone was standing on the base.
he was half man half pig
Feels good to be a yankee fan
Judge just broke Maris's record
Your channel makes me feel the same way MVP baseball makes me feel! It’s awesome.
