I *might* put Jeter over Rivera but Judge is the only one I would consider ranking among the vintage Yankees.

Judge's lack of postseason production is starting to hurt his legacy, I would think.
.196/.303/.430/.733 in 214 at bats
That's thoroughly awful and there's no way he will be considered a top five Yankee if that's how he ends his career.
And take this year, you can't even put any of it on his surrounding players because Soto and Stanton have been very good in the postseason.

That's a good point and probably a big part of Jeter's hype. 7 world series appearances, 5 wins, and I'd say he played significantly better in the postseason than he did during the regular season. In fact if he played at his postseason level all year round I probably wouldn't be calling him overhyped.
It's hard to describe his fielding ability. He was mediocre relative to other shortstops but shortstop is the most demanding fielding position so he was still one of the best fielders in the game. Pretty sure A.Rod was a better shortstop (and hitter) when the Yankees traded for him but they moved him to third out of respect for Jeter's seniority (I assume). Wonder if that kind of decision making contributed to the Yankees going from 6 WS appearances in 8 years to 2 WS appearances in 20 years.

I think your wife hasn't been paying attention if she thinks the Dodgers aren't going to do anything in the 1st inning!

The one guy ripping open the glove will get ejected for sure. Other grabbing his hand probably as well.
Imagine spending hundreds of dollars on a WS ticket, only to get booted during the 1st inning.
