The Cheap Pop Says Goodbye to Yankee Stadium: Top 7 Yankees Not Invited to Final Home Game

As the New York Yankees play their final game at “The House That Ruth Built”, thecheappop would like to share some of our favorite memories of the stadium. Here are our top seven Yankees most likely not invited to closing ceremonies.

1. Kevin Maas: The not so-heir apparent to Donnie Baseball once smacked 21 dingers in 79 games only to finish with a .230 career average.

2. Hideki Irabu: Fat Pussy Toad has two more World Series rings than Jason Giambi, Don Mattingly, Mike Mussina, Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez combined.

3. Ed Whitson: High priced under-performing free agent is best known for breaking manager Billy Martin’s arm during a heated argument.

4. Steve Howe: During a 17-year career, this former rookie of the year was suspended seven times for substance abuse. Relif pitcher is the only Bomber ever to be banned for life from MLB, only to re-sign with the Yankees a short time later.

5. Andy Hawkins: The first Yankees pitcher to lose a no-hitter by a score of 4-0.

6. Deion Sanders: Speedy outfielder is the only Yankee to ever win three Super Bowls.

7. Luis Polonia: Three time World Series winner was part of the 2000 Championship team. Once traded along with Eric Plunk and Greg Caderet for Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson.
