3. Who led the Yankees in holds during the 2003 season?

13. What player, who played for the Yankees club during 2004-2006, never made an error in a Major League game while in a Pinstripes uniform?

Answer: Bubba Crosby

Crosby, who still has a 1.000 fielding percentage in the MLB, was a backup outfielder for the team in his five years there. He never had a solid home during his tenure in baseball, for he was always called up and called down between MLB and Triple A.
