Derek Jeter holds the Yankees record for most career at-bats.
No player with the most hits in MLB was traded to the Yankees. Pete Rose has the most hits in baseball history and he was never a Yankee. The old record was held by Ty Cobb and he also was not a Yankee.
For a time, when the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers both left for California, the New York Yankees were the only MLB team in town. Then the NY Mets came along. They were managed by former Yankee manager Casey Stengel and although the team had a terrible first few years, the NY media paid allot of attention to the Mets and Casey. Many sports commentators believed the Yankees hired former baseball legend and former NY Yankee player to bring more of the "sports attention" back to the Yankees. Yogi had a great reputation & was a star player. He actually played for Casey Stengel when the Yanks before & after had that 5 World Series in a row record. So basically Yogi was hired for publicity reasons.
