#4 Homer Bush

Homer Bush played only two full seasons with the Yankees, but he left his mark engrained with the fans of New York.

When tallied up, he appeared in a total of only 64 games for the team. But like a quality utility player, he made every one of them count, achieving a batting average of .348 during his tenure with the team.

Perhaps best described as a journeyman ballplayer, Bush played only seven years in the big leagues before retiring in 2004. His lifetime batting average, though, is an impressive .285.

In 2015, the Texas Rangers named him Director of Youth Baseball Programs. He is also the author of a book titled Hitting In The Zone.

As a fan favorite, Bush has maintained a relationship with the Yankees, as seen here as a participant in a Yankees Fantasy Camp with another fan favorite, Mickey Rivers.

His time was short with the Yankees, but his memories of the team and our memories of him are long.
