Bernie Williams, CF
|
There are two sides to Bernie Williams. There is the
self-effacing, glasses-wearing Williams who strums his
classical guitar in the Yankees clubhouse. And there is the
superstar. In 1996, his fourth full year with New York,
the switch-hitting
centerfielder blasted six postseason home runs (tying a major league
record), was named MVP of the ALCS and hit .345 in 15
playoff games. Williams' intense focus and dedication to
his game have paid off. His extraordinary skills plus his
unusual grace and class
combine to make Williams worthy of patrolling the ground where
DiMaggio
and Mantle once tread. Unfortunately for the Yankees, he's a
free agent at the end of this
season. 1998 stats: .339, 26 HR, 97
RBI
