4 father-son duos in New York Yankees history ft. Clay and Cody Bellinger

The New York Yankees have had a stellar 2024 season. They finished with a 94-68 record, securing the AL East division title and clinched the ALDS, beating the Kansas City Royals.

The Bronx Bombers also won the ALCS, capturing their first AL pennant since 2009. They advanced to the World Series, where they lost 4-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With the offseason underway, the Yankees are focused on bolstering their roster in pursuit of another World Series title. They lost star outfielder Juan Soto to free agency, with Soto signing with the New York Mets.

However, the Yankees made a notable move on Tuesday by adding versatile player Cody Bellinger. This move is especially significant, given his family connection to the team, as his father, Clay Bellinger, also played for the Yankees.

The Bellingers are now a part of a select group, becoming the fourth father-son duo in Yankees history. Here’s a look at all the father-son duos the Yankees have had:
