What does "the Yankees already had a center fielder. " mean?
The U.S. has been a leading country in the field of law.
<context> A: What interested you in pursuing a profession in the rule of law?
B: Law is a wonderful blend of the practical and the intellectual. And, besides, the Yankees already had a center fielder.

Yankees as in the baseball team. The person is saying they are studying law because the position they want to play on the baseball team is already taken.

It's a joke.
"B" is saying that, the reason why they chose Law as their career, is because (their next best choice - of being a professional baseball player) was already taken.
This sort of remark is funny, because person "B" is probably completely un-sporty, and he/she would never, ever have been the Yankees' centre fielder anyway.
