The 10 Best Catchers In New York Yankees History
8. Rick Cerone
Rick Cerone had three different stints with the Bombers after being acquired in the trade for Chris Chambliss to replace Thurman Munson.
Cerone assisted the Yankees en route to an American League East crown in 1980, a year in which he finished seventh in the AL MVP voting. He also was an integral part of the 1981 team that won the pennant but unfortunately for him, he never played a full season after that.
