I wanted to take part in Thorzul's last cheap group break but none of my favorite teams were available so for some reason I went with the Yankees. I could never root for the Yankees as a whole but I've got nothing against many of the individual players.
Here are some of my personal favorites from the about 35 cards I received:
1999 Stadium Club #75 Mariano Rivera
A classic example of a great "clean" looking Stadium Club card. The design fades to the background nicely here and allows the great photography to dominate.

1997 Upper Deck Collector's Choice #445 Andy Pettitte
I causally collect Andy Pettitte and I have to remind myself every once in a while that he's lumped in with Roger Clemens and the other steroid users. The baseball world has forgiven him for all past bad deeds.
1999 Topps Stadium Clud #35 Orlando Hernandez
1...2...3...Kick!
