Leading the league in Hits 1x with 207 (the youngest to do this), this 4x AS came in 5th for RoY votes. He also holds the record for the most RBIs in a debut game with 6 RBIs. The kid was a star.

Answer: Ramon Flores. Active from ‘15-‘17 this LHB was signed as an amateur FA by the Yankees and played in 12 games in 2015 for us before going on to play for MIL & then LAA. The 2016 MIL team gave him a full time position where he showed up in the OF.

NAME THAT YANK! Despite his long career, his two years as a Yank are what we remember mostly, especially his ALCS performance. In 2 game starts in the ALCS, he threw 3.1 IP to a 21.60 ERA against Boston. Hated since, he is one of the names that get brought up when we talk about the JD’s of the Yank.

He became the 1st player to hit two HRs in a post season game he did not start. Also the 1st to hit 2 HRs in the 9th inning or later in a post season game & the oldest to hit a ps walk off HR. He would later in the playoffs hit another HR becoming the 1st to hit 3+ ps HRs in the 9th inn or later.

Mr. Name That Yank! @namethatyank.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

NAME THAT YANK! Born in NYC, in his 19 year career he was a Yankee for only 1 playing in 130 games. This 1x AS came up in a huge pinch hit situation where he was put in for an aging A-Rod, hitting homers in two consecutive at bats, the latter being a walk off in the 12th.

210

Mr. Name That Yank! @namethatyank.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Answer: Luis Sojo! Active from ‘90-‘03, he played for 5 teams in his career and was an ultimate utility man. Hitting a career 36 homers, he was always a reliable pinch hitter in the post season. A member of the Venezuelan Baseball HoF, in the 2000 World Series he turned into a hero.

NAME THAT YANK! This beloved Yankee was a LHB who won one Gold Glove. Starting and ending his career as a Yankee (which many believe he should never have been traded) this man spent 13 of his 17 years in the majors with us and had 5 consecutive AS appearances. Traded for a great dad.
