Its pretty obvious that the writers or Seinfeld himself like the New York Yankees. I'm curious though, what yankees have appeared on the show. I remember Buck Showalter appeared when he was still manager. Besides him and the back of George Steinbrenner's head (well, actually the head of an actor playing him), who else? Thanks.
New York Yankee episodes
Fans discuss which New York Yankees players have appeared on Seinfeld, noting Buck Showalter, Danny Tartabull, and Paul O'Neill among others who made guest appearances.
Danny Tartabul and Paul O'Neill have both been on. Tart was on the telethon, puffy shirt ep. O'neill was on the birtday card show when Kramer asked him to hit two homers so he could get the card back for George.

Danny Tartabull, who George was taking to appear on a PBS pledge drive. Also, someone was giving a player hitting tips (Kramer & Paul O'Neill?).

Off the top of my head, I remember Danny Tartabull (for the telethon), and Paul O'Neill (when Kramer asks him to hit 2 home runs). Not so sure that there were any others.

We can't forget how Kramer knocked down the Mick at the Fantasy Camp..."I own the inside of the plate"

Actually, Kramer knocked down Joe Pepitone (yet ANOTHER Yankee mentioned on the show)---Pepitone was the one crowding the plate. What happened is, during the big brawl that ensued, Kramer felt someone grab him from behind, so he turned around and decked who was grabbing him...and THAT person happened to be "The Mick".
Kramer also tells the Oriental couple in the Hansom Cab when he was driving the horse that Central Park was designed in 1850(?) by Joe Pepitone (that btoke me up)
The New York Mets seem to be Jerry's team. He's always taping the game, then Kramer barges in and gives the score away. There have also been a few former Mets on the show. The famous two spitter theory episode had Roger McDowell. And I remember a classic George line with Kieth Hernandez. They're in a locker room when George asks Hernandez "How come a plane full of baseball players has never crashed? I mean it's inevitable, isn't it?" The look that Hernandez gives him is a classic!
