Bernie Williams is easily the most underrated Yankee ever. This guy was a staple on the 'Dynasty Teams' in the late 90's and early 2000's. He doesn't get enough credit for how valuable he was on those teams.
A true athlete and a true Yankee.. roaming center field like a gazelle..stick from both sides...base stealer..and won a batting title... Bernie... semper fi
This is a great upload. I always felt like people missed just how fucking good this guy was. A great centerfielder and ballplayer. You hit 22 postseason home runs, I don't care if there are 5 rounds of playoffs every year, you should get into the HOF on roller skates.
Based on today's stats, he would be a HOF. He played in the steroids era and that didn't help him. He also had a young Ken Griffey Jr as a comparison for CFs.
Imagine if they would have won in 2001 and 2003. The Yankees would have been in a class by themselves in winning sports world championships in another way.
At 14:00 minute, the guy leaning over the rail above the “B” is me trying to catch the home run ball. Security swarmed me right afterwards, they thought I had the ball 😂
2:28 For such a well known all around gentleman and introvert Bernie's bat flips on home runs were pretty wild. Nobody ever took exception or really noticed them all that much back then. In fact I'm only really noticing it now rewatching this decades later. I guess Bat flip or not you would sound absolutely rediculous trying to call Bernie a show boat
Bernie is my 2nd fave player of all time.....just behind Donnie Basball. David Cone is my 3rd fave. The trade to get Cone was the get over the top move of my life as a yank fan since 1990
Bernie had a lot more power batting right-handed. I think had Bernie batted right-handed his entire career, he would've had close to 350 home runs, then a legit shot at the HOF.
Man I miss Bernie Quiet leader Was there since day one of the beginning of the dynasty before the core four Bernie was clutch, led by example and was an absolute gentleman A true Yankee if there ever was one We miss u Bernie!!!

Relax he was not stealing bases like that
Bernie Williams was a true great not just as a Yankee but a baseball great and truly underrated. Bern baby Bern
agreed. He was clutch and unfortunately there's no stat for that
Factss

Was privileged to grow up watching him play . Smooth operator
Bernie goes boom! Magical time. There was nothing like the old stadium.
He should be in the Hall of Fame.

I love Griffey but never won the big one
He's in the tier of very good. Not a HOF'er
LOVED watching Bernie Williams!!!
Ditto
Forever my favorite Yankee. Thanks for the upload ❤
Glad you enjoyed!!
He’s also an outstanding guitarist
Imagine if they would have won in 2001 and 2003. The Yankees would have been in a class by themselves in winning sports world championships in another way.
We also should’ve won in ‘04. Imagine we won 96 98 99 00 01 03 04. Would’ve been crazy.
That diamondbacks team was roided out too.
He was so bad ass in the 1996 postseason, destroyed Texas and Baltimore.
They don’t win neither of those series without him
@donaldjones2370 definitely not....I think him & Juan Gone hit a combined 8? 9? HRs in the division round. Could be wrong tho.
You should include the dates somewhere. I can figure most of them out, but not everyone could.

Bernie belongs in the Hall of Fame
Tony Perez’s career numbers compares to Bernie’s career numbers. Tony is in the MLB Hall of Fame but Bernie should be in also.

A lot of those HR's tied, put the Yankees up, or padded slim leads. Talk about clutch.
I'll never forget I was in times square and bernie Williams walked right by 😮

My 2 G.O.A.T.S.... 4 Life 1): Burnie Williams & Curtis Granderson (&. Both rN.Y. Yankees)!.... Yesssss!....
Clutch.
BERN BABY BERN , LOL
Man I miss Bernie
Quiet leader
Was there since day one of the beginning of the dynasty before the core four
Bernie was clutch, led by example and was an absolute gentleman
A true Yankee if there ever was one
We miss u Bernie!!!
#7
Lefty deadly!
If not for the 1994 strike he would have had at least 5 more.
Parque sepa
Say what you will about Joe Buck, I’ll still take him over Michael Kay lol
He was better than Tony Perez.
Two objective realities…
-Bernie was an all time Yankee with some of the biggest home runs in club history
-Joe Buck SUCKS!!!
He fell off a cliff after age 30😢
I would say more like after age 33
He cooked in 1999-2002.
The first home run in Seattle and threw that ball back is probably no longer here but could’ve bout a nice asset with that ball
