Kubek bets only Hunter from 1961 could join 1976 Yankees
Former Yankee Tony Kubek, now a NBC commentator, argues the 1961 Yankees would still stand out against the 1976 Reds. He believes Catfish Hunter is the only present Yankee who could have started for the 1961 team, considering era changes and player comparisons. He names Mantle, Maris, and Berra among greats, and contrasts infield and outfield selections.
