BRONX, N.Y. — On this date in 2015, the New York Yankees celebrated Jorge Posada Day at Yankee Stadium. The longtime Yankee catcher had his No. 20 retired in Monument Park. The organization honored him with a plaque as well.
Posada played parts of 17 seasons in pinstripes. During that time Posada was part of five World Series title teams, a five-time American League All-Star, and a five-time silver slugger recipient. The Yankee backstop finished third in AL MVP voting in 2003 and seventh in 2007. He was also quite a durable workhorse behind the plate, leading the AL in games caught three times and in the top four eight times.
