Highest paid Yankee of all-time?

Everything else being equal, who would be the highest paid Yankee of all-time if they were all available for the 2008 season?

I am thinking Mantle, cause he had marketable charisma to go with the talent.

Re: Highest paid Yankee of all-time?

Interesting question.

Would definitely be a position player.

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez are the only real possibilities.

Joe DiMaggio and possibly Lou Gehrig should be added to the list.

What about Jeter. People in NY seem to love him, and the media seems to love the guy too. He is already close to the top.
