NICK SWISHER: “JOLLY OLD ST. NICK! NICK IS POSITIVELY SWISH-A-LICIOUS!”

Like Hideki Matsui, not many Yankee players captivated the attention of the fanbase like Nick Swisher did.

Only playing four seasons in the Bronx (2009-2012), Swisher became an instant fan favorite with his over the top positivity and charisma, not to mention a scoreless inning of relief one night in Tampa Bay.

Swisher launched 29 home runs as an eight hole hitter in the Yankees in 2009, and consistently hit over 20 homers in each of his four seasons.

After finishing his playing career with the Indians and Braves, Swisher has not only joined FOX Sports as an analyst, but has also become a special advisor to Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees.

MARK TEIXIERA: “MARK SENDS A TEX-MESSAGE! YOUR ON THE MARK, TEIXEIRA!”

Brian Cashman signed Mark Teixeira to an eight-year deal, $180 million deal back in 2009, and boy was it worth it.

Teixeira finished second in AL MVP voting behind Twins’ slugger, Joe Mauer, in 2009, connecting for 39 long balls, and driving in over 120 runs. Teixeira was on the receiving end of the final out of the 2009 World Series, which would be Tex’s only championship season.

In eight seasons, Teixeira sent a lot of Tex-messages. Despite battling injuries later on in his career, the Gold-Glove winning first baseman launched 206 career home runs in pinstripes, including a walk-off grand slam for is final career blast against the Red Sox in 2016.
