Sunday is one of those days at Yankee Stadium that feels and looks differently than other days in ballparks not located in The Bronx.
Derek Jeter gets No. 2 retired and a plaque in Monument Park, a place behind the center-field fence that is swollen with baseball royalty.
Babe, Lou, The Mick, Joe D and The Boss have monuments out there. Yogi, Whitey, Mo, Reggie, Casey and “Mr. T,’’ as Jeter called Joe Torre, have plaques.
Other teams have areas to honor their greats. Nobody else comes close to the Yankees, because their names are some of the biggest in the game’s history.
