The New York Yankees have announced the Old-Timers' Day roster for Saturday, August 8 at Yankee Stadium.
Each year, the Yankees invite former legends of the organization to participate in a day that celebrates their accomplishments with the 27-time World Series champions.
This year's roster features several of New York's all-time players, including Hall of Famers and Monument Park members.
Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte are just a few of the names fans can expect to see trot out of the dugout in a few weeks.
