NEW YORK — Paul O'Neill's No. 21 will be retired by the New York Yankees — on Aug. 21.
The Yankees said Tuesday that they will hold Paul O'Neill Day ceremonies before that day's game against Toronto — assuming the lockout ends and the 2022 season is played.
O'Neill will become the 23rd player or manager to have number retired by the Yankees.
A four-time World Series champion for the Yankees nicknamed "The Warrior" by the late owner George Steinbrenner, O'Neill hit .303 with 185 homers and 858 RBIs for the Yankees from 1993-2001.
