On one hand our player of the now Frank Lindor is rocking a sparkling .616 OPS.

What is the best MLB outfield ever? If we include All-Star teams, I'll take that one. If not, the 1961 Yankees with Mantle, Maris, and Berra is my favorite. The 2024 NYY's is pretty good though. If you put Verdugo at DH and Stanton in the OF, Judge, Soto, and Stanton have a career average OPS+ of 153.67 which is higher than the individual career OPS+s of Shohei Ohtani, Honus Wagner, and Jeff Bagwell!

When did Yogi Berra play the outfield?

When did Yogi Berra play the outfield?

Towards the end of his career when Elston Howard took over for him behind the plate.Howard came up as an outfielder/catcher and took over for Berra behind the plate in 60
