My new book on Nettle's great 1978 Yankees team, The Greatest Comeback Ever, is the only book ever written by a fan, live-time on a great sports season. It's available at Amazon.

Yes, what a phenomenal player and I'm glad to see a bunch here who weren't born yesterday who realize this. We've had some great teams and players since then but I still think he was the best on the "hot corner." Great to see him here again at the real Yankee Stadium one last time. They never should have traded him.

Nettles was simply the best damn 3b around. the veterans commitee will get him in the H.O.F!

Nettles is a Hall Of Famer ... I'm really disappointed bc he is not there.

people would sometimes compare him to brooks robinson
Between the bat and glove was the best player on 2 championship teams Turned the 78 W.S. around Was captain of the team Most HR american league 3rd baseman and The Yankees never gave him a day what did this guy do to Stienbrenner besides calling him fat. The Yanks give days to everybody and I think every captain but Nettles the forgotten Yankee. Heres to the BEST 3RD BASEMAN IN YANKEE HISTORY (not on roids) real Yankee fans remember!!!
