Bernie Williams was one of the greatest Yankees center-fielders of all-time. He spent his entire career with the Yankees (1991-2006) in which he led the league in batting average in 1998 (.339), was a five-time All-Star selection (1997-2001), won four Gold Gloves (1997-2000), 2002 Silver Slugger, 1996 ALCS MVP, .297 career batting average, 287 home runs, 1257 RBI, and he won four World Series titles (1996, 1998-2000). He is also one of only ten players to ever play 16 or more seasons with the Yankees. His 51 extra-base hits and 80 RBI are postseason records.
Did you know: Williams is also an accomplished musician and, at 15, he won a Junior World Olympics Gold Medal in the 400 meter race? (He was considered to be one of the best junior track stars in the world.)
