Ron Dock exited the Yankees’ world this past week the same silent way he entered it in 1998.

If the name doesn’t sound familiar, it shouldn’t. As the organization’s intervention coordinator based in Tampa, Fla., Dock worked in the shadows and often underground, helping Yankees employees with addiction problems, family situations, depression and legal issues.

“It was my choice, time to move on. I went to Brian Cashman and thanked him and he gave me a hug. There are no regrets, I left on a high note,’’ said the 65-year-old native of The Bronx, who attended Evander Childs.
