NEW YORK -- Two pictures -- one old, one recent -- sandwiched by American flags.
That's how the Yankees honored late Sen. John McCain before a game against the White Sox at Yankee Stadium on Monday.
He died Saturday after battling brain cancer. He was 81.

The team asked the crowd for a moment of silence after the public address announcer rattled off the accomplishments of McCain, a 35-year politician and one-time Republican presidential nominee.
On the giant center field scoreboard, the Yankees displayed a picture of McCain as a Marine and a more recent photo of him.
