Yankees to celebrate 63rd Old-Timer's Day - and first at Yankee Stadium - with Hall-of-Famers and first-time attendees
The New York Yankees announced today that four Hall-of-Famers and at least six rookie Old-Timers will be on hand at the 63rd annual Old-Timers' Day on Sunday, July 19 at Yankee Stadium. This season marks the inaugural Old-Timers' Day at the current Stadium after 62 years at the original Stadium. Introductions are scheduled to begin at 11:45 a.m. with the traditional Old-Timers' game to follow. The Yankees will then host the Detroit Tigers at 2:05 p.m.
The Old-Timers are headlined by Hall of Famers Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson and 2008 inductee Rich "Goose" Gossage. The list of newcomers includes Tony Cloninger, Mike Easler, Lindy McDaniel and Jerry Narron. Third baseman Charlie Hayes, who recorded the final out of the 1996 World Series, will also make his first Old-Timers' Day appearance, along with Chad Curtis, who won World Series titles with the Yankees in 1998 and 1999.
Joining the Hall-of-Famers and Old-Timers' Day rookies on the baselines will be more than 30 additional former Yankees and the widows of four legendary Yankees-Arlene Howard, widow of Elston Howard; Helen Hunter, widow of Jim "Catfish" Hunter; Kay Murcer, widow of Bobby Murcer; and Diana Munson, widow of Thurman Munson.

No Paul O'Neill or Tino? Awww man. Still sounds like it's gonna be fun!
Plus, I have a new URL for my blog. It's now simply:

It's a partial list so there's a chance they will show up.
Cool, I'll update your link right now.
Hold on a sec, it may not work not this instant. It may take an hour or so, I just bought the URL.
no O'Neill, Tino, Brosious, Bernie, Wells, Boggs, Wettland.... plus they should try to get the whole '99 team there because its 10 yrs
***BREAKING NEWS***
Mets trade RF Ryan Church to Braves for OF Jeff Francouer.
I didn't see this coming, but it sounds like it may benefit the Mets greatly.
Actually, I knew Church was on the trading block, but I didn't know they would trade him to Atlanta.
Interesting move...
By the way, the Angels put Vald and Hunter on the DL. So this weekend just got a little easier.
Tonight's lineup:
#2 Derek Jeter DH
#18 Johnny Damon LF
#25 Mark Teixeira 1B
#13 Alex Rodriguez 3B
#33 Nick Swisher RF
#24 Robinson Cano 2B
#53 Melky Cabrera CF
#12 Cody Ransom SS
#26 Jose Molina C
No Mussina?
