All of the players on this list played for the Yankees during their championship-winning heyday at some point in their career. To put it another way, you won't see any members of the Colorado Rockies, an expansion team founded in 1991, here. In fairness, they started play in the 1993 season.
What you will find are a handful of Hall of Famers mixed in with some names you may have forgotten over the years.
Note: Here's our guide to the most NBA championships.
Players Who Have Won 7 World Series Rings
It's not easy to win a single World Series championship, let alone seven. And if you look at the list, you'll see some all-time great hitters in Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle and DiMaggio. Sure, none of them are Ted Williams, but he doesn't have a ring, so there's that.
What's interesting about hitting is that hitting is what makes baseball one of the hardest sports in the world. Probably no immaculate innings getting tossed by those guys.
