Wearing a T-shirt that featured the face of the former Yankees captain who criticized the current club for making too many mistakes, Aaron Boone played defense.

"We're the Yankees," Boone said. "When we lose games, if it's in and around a mistake, that criticism is fair game."

When Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez speak, Yankees fans listen. They remain two of the most significant players in Yankees history and were cornerstones of the franchise’s last World Series championship in 2009. That’s why it made waves over the weekend when Jeter and A-Rod shared critical analysis of the present-day Yankees.
