COUNTING DOWN: The Best Yankee At Each Uniform Numbers (#82)

By Paul Semendinger

***

The 2020 season was the season when the Yankees gave out a lot of numbers for the very first time.

It will be interesting to see if the players who were issued these high numbers will keep them in 2021. Heck, for some of these players, it’ll be interesting to see if some even play for the Yankees in 2021.

Anyway, the greatest Yankee to ever wear #82 is Brooks Kriske. (He, of course, is the only Yankee to ever wear this number.)

In 2020, Kriske, a pitcher, appeared in all of four games. He threw 3.2 innings. He allowed six runs. His ERA stands at 14.73.

Brooks Kriske has a bright future, hopefully with the Yankees.

Here’s hoping he pitches well in uniform #82 in 2021.

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
