@AnthonyDRLopez Actually, no. They were first to be introduced, had to walk farthest from dugout, and sat the longest in hot sun. This was a pretty bogus OT Day, and I've been to almost every one for the last 50 years.
Nobody has as many great players or history to remember like the Yankees. That said, the Red Sox, Cards, Dodgers, and a few other teams could pull off an Old Timers Day once, but its hard to sustain that year after year. Yankees have done it brilliantly for over 76 years. Hope some of the "09 guys become regulars. I wanna see Swish, Damon, Matsui, The Core Four, CC, etc... at least once a year at the Stadium.
Thank you MLB and Yankees for posting this. Having been a Yankees fan since my earliest memory of baseball in 1961, seeing these Old Timers is really something special. I remember watching the 2009 seasons and playoffs with my two sons and wife. Special times…

They must definitely have some very nice memories before going to sleep. It's really nice to see them together again, I'm a big fan of those 2009 Yankees.. ❤❤❤🎉😊
Nick Swisher should be just about the most universally loved player of his era. Nobody I ever saw looked happier to be playing baseball. His emotions are what we all showed as kids. It is infectious and joyful to watch. Always glad to see him jog out to the field in the pinstripes for OTD.
The emotions with the final four from that 90's dynasty on the 2009 team. Pettitte, Posada, Jeter and of course Mariano Rivera. We'll never see another player ever like Rivera, the dude was a baseball God of a closer...
@@TiagoGomez-hb9te ????🤨 What do you mean how? Do you not know who Rivera is? Look up his stats and you'll see *how* The guy leads in all closer stats by light-years.
These guys look great ! They walk with a certain swag and confidence that comes with knowing they were world champs. One of the best teams of their generation. Fun to see them reunited.
I was present at Yankee Stadium in section 130 on November 4, 2009 to see the New York Yankees win their 27th World Series Championship. Awesome feeling that I will never forget. This reunion is special and I wish I was there.
Glad that the Yankees honor these men now that they are living, I bet they have a flashback galore of their good times as a Yankee player. Hope other MLB team do this more often.
Am I the only one who remembered how good the bullpen was, but on hearing Kay announce Lloyd, Nelson, Rivera, etc realized that their memory undersold how great they were? What a complete luxury the team had with that pen. They just about never failed to do the job.
I am not a fan of them. My blood is as red as my Red Sox Nation. But coming from a beautiful island in the Caribbean where most of my family are fans of you, from my grandfather, my father and my brothers (all of whom have gone to eternal rest), I feel that they would still be proud to be Yankees specially Bernabé Williams Figueroa 🇵🇷
I was lucky enough to grow up near where he played AA ball. He always had time to chat up the young fans, and even knew our names and would see us coming over and call out to us. Great guy, great player and I'm in lockstep with you. Bernies my favorite baseball player ever.
@@KTF0 2009 Yankees was a SUPERTEAM. It was straight unfair to go up against. Only other modern MLB team that made me feel that way were the 2004 St. Louis Cardinals, the 2004 and 2007 Redsox along the 2018 version of the team. No way you're ever losing with those teams...
I look forward to watching this every year, thank you for sharing MLB. I vaguely remember 77 and 78 as I was very young. 96, 98,99,00,09 were awesome. I hope this fires up the 2024 team into the next gear once a few more key members return from the IL.
Man I got tears in my eyes!!! Love my Yankees! A fact Tib Bit: The day I was born Oct. 18, 1977, Reggie Jackson hit 3 home runs to help seal game 6 against the Dodgers for their 21st world series title! I left the Hospital few days later in a pin stripe onesie. #RoadTo28
I was 29 when they won in 2009. I miss this team. I was at Yankee Tavern with my best friend when they won the championship that night after Game 6 with my best friend. We were packed like sardines during the game and when they won, it was pandemonium in the streets outside the new stadium.
It’s too bad we never get Mattingly back for these old timers days as he’s either coaching or managing. His ovation would be huge. I think I remember him at the 2000 version and his ovation gave me chills.
The 2009 teams OPS was 0.088 higher than the 2009 MLB average and the 2024 teams OPS is 0.061 higher than league average. Not saying you're wrong about the lineup, you aren't. It just illustrates how crazy the combo of Soto and Judge is. Those two alone probably account for the same offensive output as 4-5 starting players on the 09 team.
And the fact that the ‘09 team, from 1-9 in the lineup, other teams would’ve been proud to have everyone of them in a 1-4 spot in the lineup. Every single player could take you deep! Just about everyone hit more than 15 homers that year too! With the exception of Gardner. You literally could not pitch around players. It’s the “who do you want next?” A pitchers worst nightmare except for Cliff Lee.
You think the Yankees would let a future Hall of Famer like Joey Votto retire in a minor league parking lot? Mark Shapiro/Ross Atkins THIS is how a class organization treats legends of the game lol
Idk I’m not happy how they treated Arod at end of his career by not letting him get to 700 home runs by playing him as little as possible and forcing him into retirement in august. I don’t like like how they did Girardi and brought in dopey Boone. And I especially hate how they ended things with Gardner. They do treat guys decent, but they definitely have their favorites.
28 should have being won a long time ago. In my opinion 2017 & 2018 should have been back to back titles for the yankees. Having such a good team and yet struggle those years.
Bernie 100% should. People don't realize how insane his numbers really are until you dig into them. He had a higher OPS than Ken Griffey when Griffey was the face of AL power hitting.
Love this team. Miss Matsui so great to see him again.
Would love to have Rivera in the team at the moment
