Great Moments in New York Yankee History [VIDEO]

The New York Yankees are stinkin' up the AL East standings as the 2016 season gets underway. Any Yankee fan knows they'll be back.

Most of you know I'm a Mets fan, I've always been a Mets fan, but I've never been a Yankee's hater. The Yankees are an extra large portion of the history of MLB baseball and the winningest and most recognizable sports franchise in the world. As a baseball fan, how can you not have the utmost respect for a team that's steeped in decades of great moments. For you die hard fans, here are some of my favorite New York Yankee moments. Enjoy!
