Yankee Legend is a term used to describe three of the most iconic players in the history of the New York Yankees baseball team. Babe RUTH, also known as 'Baberuth' (8 letters), was a legendary slugger who set numerous records during his career and is widely considered one of the greatest players of all time. His nickname was 'The Sultan of Swat' (4 letters). Mickey Mantle (12 letters) was an outfielder and first baseman who played for the Yankees from 1951 to 1968. He was a three-time MVP and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. Lastly, RUTH's successor, 'The Iron Horse' Lou Gehrig (8 letters), was a first baseman who played for the Yankees from 1923 to 1939. He was a two-time MVP and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939. Together, these three players form the core of the Yankee Legend.
