No matter how many times the son of his best friend and the Yankees employees assured him they'd send him some professional pictures of Old-Timers' Day on Saturday, Vogel wanted to be sure he snapped his own.
This was the day the 91-year-old had been anticipating for six months, when he and the Yankees first developed a relationship over a letter he wrote to media relations manager Michael Margolis inquiring as to why Joe Gordon's number wasn't retired. The two struck up a friendship and Margolis invited him to participate in Old-Timers' Day on Saturday at the ballpark.
