The Yankees showed up dressed to impress on Friday for Game 5 of the ALDS with a jersey sleeve tribute to the legendary Whitey Ford.

The Yankees and the Major League Baseball family lost a stalwart and a connection to a bygone era on Thursday night, as lefty Whitey Ford passed away at the age of 91.
