Pinstripe Alley Top 100 Yankees: #47 Waite Hoyt
Briefly

Acquired via trade by the Yankees, he pitched in part of 10 seasons in pinstripes, and was a staple in the rotation of New York's excellent teams of the 1920s. He was eventually elected to the Hall of Fame, and his impact on some of the Yankees' more significant stretches, and the game as a whole is undeniable.
Although his grades prohibited him from playing for the school team early on, Hoyt was still able to excel in other local leagues. In 1915, the young right-hander improved on his grades, found a spot on his school team, and continued his rapid ascent in the baseball scene.
