To many fans, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig represent the “beginning” of Yankees history, the first true stars whose performance at the plate kickstarted the first ever Yankees dynasty in the 1920s.
Not every all-timer has instant success at the next level. For many baseball players, it takes a few bumps in the road out of the gate before they ever reach stardom.
When the New York Yankees lost Juan Soto in free agency in 2024, many thought it was a sign that the team had lost its superstar pull. Soto went to the crosstown Mets for only $5 million more than the Yankees offered him.

The Yankees have one of Major League Baseball's best starting rotations, if not the No. 1 unit in the sport.
