Yankees legends Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and more will return for the decade's first Old-Timers' Day
Break out the pinstripes and polish those cleats: Old-Timers' Day is back at Yankee Stadium and it's bringing the Bronx Bombers' glory days with it. On Saturday, August 9, the Yankees will host their 77th Old-Timers' Day, marking the first full-scale return of the on-field alumni game since 2019. The midday event—complete with tributes, player introductions and a few innings of hardball—will honor the 25th anniversary of the Yankees' 2000 World Series win over the Mets. Fans can expect a stacked lineup of legends from that championship squad. Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera, catcher Jorge Posada, lefty ace Andy Pettitte and other fan favorites like David Cone, Tino Martinez and 'El Duque' Orlando Hernández will all suit up once more. The roster even includes some first timers to the event: Roger Clemens, David Justice, Alfonso Soriano and José Vizcaíno are making their Old-Timers' Day debuts. In total, more than 40 former Yankees will take the field, including Monument Park inductees like Paul O'Neill, Ron Guidry, Bernie Williams, and manager Joe Torre. Longtime fans may also spot familiar faces from decades past, like Bucky Dent and Graig Nettles, plus representatives for club legends Thurman Munson, Billy Martin and Bobby Murcer. After a pandemic-era pivot to ceremonies and Q&As, the return of live on-field action is a welcome shift. The YES Network will air the full festivities, with coverage starting at 11:30am and player introductions kicking off promptly at noon, led by Michael Kay. The Old-Timers' game will immediately follow, ahead of the Yankees' afternoon matchup against the Astros. One notable absence? Derek Jeter, MVP of the 2000 World Series, who's reportedly skipping the event for a family birthday. Still, the day promises a nostalgia-fueled celebration of one of the franchise's most dominant eras—and a rare chance to see the Bronx Zoo legends back in action, even if only for a few innings.
