Earlier today, the Yankees announced the roster for Old-Timers’ Day, set to take place prior to their 1:35pm ET game against the Brewers on September 9th in the Bronx.
The Yankees’ lineup consists largely of members of the 1998 championship team on the 25th anniversary of their World Series victory: 29 of 43 representatives played for or worked for that club in some capacity. Specifically, that group includes Old-Timers returnees such as YES analysts David Cone, Paul O’Neill, and Jeff Nelson, in addition to stalwarts such as Tino Martinez, Orlando “El Duque” Hernández, coach Willie Randolph, and Hall of Famers like Tim Raines and manager Joe Torre.
