Greg posting this about the original schedule, but the Yankees have tweaked it a bit. Here is the break down via Josh Thomson:
  • 10:10-11:10 a.m.: Yankees take BP
  • 11:00 a.m.: Gates open to ticket holders
  • 11:10-11:50 a.m.: Angels take BP
  • 12:30-12:44 p.m.: 2009 World Series ring ceremony begins
  • 12:44-12:54 p.m.: First and third baseline introductions
  • 12:54 p.m.: Introduction of the giant American flag, unfurled by West Point cadets
  • 12:55 p.m.: Presentation of colors by the West Point Cadet Color Guard
  • 12:56 p.m.: The National Anthem will be performed by Kristin Chenoweth, along with a U.S. Navy Fighter Squadron Composite Twelve (VFC-12) flyover
  • 1:01 p.m.: Ceremonial first pitch by Bernie Williams
  • 1:04 p.m.: Umpires and managers to home plate
  • 1:06 p.m.: Yankees take the field
  • 1:08 p.m.: First pitch
The major difference from the original press release is that the ring ceremony will now start 15 minutes later

Other need to knows:

The Yankees plan on having all their world series banners hanging on the frieze which surrounds the grand-stand. Should be a Magnificent sight.
