The best I have seen

Over the last few years, we have had  the "core 4" plus 1 (Bernie), they have helped bring us many years of world series championships and playoff runs.

Alas, now they are gone, Who will be on the team for the next run at five in a row as they did back in 1949 thru 1953 or the 8 wins from 1947 thru 1958?
So many years of watching some of the greatest Yankee teams of the 40's/50s' and the bad of the 70s' and 80s' with some so-so years in between.

One thing I can say for sure is, I have had the privilege of watching some of the best Yankees of my lifetime. This is my list of the best of that time;
