When is Yankees Old-Timers’ Day? Derek Jeter's participation announced among other legends

Time flies indeed. Nine years after his retirement, Derek Jeter is set to attend his first New York Yankees Old-Timers’ Day, the club announced earlier today.

This year’s Old-Timers’ Day festivities are going to mark the 75th edition of the annual event, and will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Yankees’ illustrious 1998 World Series championship squad

The event will blend traditional player introductions with a fresh twist – a roundtable-style Q&A session. Fans will have the unique opportunity to hear personal anecdotes and insights from these Yankees legends, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the team's storied past.

Jeter’s participation is undoubtedly an eagerly anticipated highlight of the event. It will be The Captain’s first appearance as an Old-Timer.

Jeter will be joined by a roster of 29 former Yankees players. Nine Monument Park inductees will be in attendance, including seven players whose numbers have been retired by the Yankees.

Besides Jeter, the distinguished group comprises Mariano Rivera (42), Joe Torre (6), Ron Guidry (49), Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill (21), Andy Pettitte (46), Jorge Posada (20), and Willie Randolph. Yankees manager Aaron Boone and 2009 World Series MVP Hideki Matsui are also expected to be present.

In a touching tribute, the event will also honor the widows of four Yankees legends – Diana Munson, Joan Ford, Kay Murcer and Jill Martin.
