Before this Sunday’s game against the Texas Rangers the New York Yankees will retire five-time All Star Bernie Williams’ No. 51 and honor the four-time gold glove center fielder with a pre-game ceremony and a plaque in monument park. The Yankees will also wear a patch on their hats honoring Williams.
Williams who played 16 seasons with the Yankees and was the starting center fielder during the incredible run in which they won 4 World Series championships in 5 years from 1996-2000 will have his number and name enshrined with the Yankee legends including his fellow center fielder alumni Mickey Mantle’s No.
