The 70th annual Old Timers’ Day at Yankee Stadium reunited 13 members of the 1996 team that ended an unprecedented 18 year championship drought in the Bronx. Closer John Wetteland and infielder Mariano Duncan were among the players making their Old Timers’ Day debut.

One of the most memorable moments of the afternoon saw third baseman Charlie Hayes catching a fly ball in foul territory behind third base, evoking memories of the iconic play that clinched the World Series title that season.
