If he commits to the team for more years, he could become a beloved star like Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter before him. If he leaves, it will be a rare time when the Yankees can't convince a star player to stay.If fans' hopes after seeing this fashion choice turn out to be true, his legacy as a New York Yankees icon will be well on its way.
