NEW YORK -- The Yankees gave their fans a true Father's Day treat before Sunday's series finale against the Rays. They held their 72nd Old-Timers' Day, with dozens of former stars -- large and small -- from the Yankees' constellation taking part.
Andy Pettitte, Nick Swisher, Jason Giambi and manager Aaron Boone were among the first-time participants and each got a rousing ovation when introduced. The biggest ovations, though, went to Don Larsen and Whitey Ford. Larsen, now 88, threw a perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Ford, a Hall of Famer and now 89, is the organization's most decorated pitcher.
