Posted on April 10, 2011 by Mike

New York Yankee teammates Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera have now accomplished what no other trio has ever done. They have played together on the same team for a 17th consecutive season – longer than any other streak in baseball, basketball, football or hockey, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The previous baseball record was set by the Milwaukee Brewers. Jim Gantner, Paulo Molitor and Robin Yount played together for 15 season as members of the Brew Crew.
