Today marks six years since the hardest day in recent memory for Yankee fans. On the morning of the 2010 All Star Game, The Boss passed away at 80 years old due to a heart attack. His death came nine days after his 80th birthday, two days after the passing of long time stadium announcer Bob Sheppard, and eight days before former manager Ralph Houk. The team would wear a commemorative patch on the left breast of their home and road uniforms to go along with Sheppard’s patch on the left arm that season. He was laid to rest at Trinity Memorial Gardens in Trinity, Florida.
On this day in Yankees history – Rest in peace Boss
