Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Sabathia, More to Attend 2024 Yankees' Old-Timers' Day

Timothy RappAug 13, 2024

It has been 15 years since the New York Yankees won a World Series title. The organization's Old-Timers' Day will celebrate a number of the players from that 2009 team.

Among the attendees for the event will be Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, CC Sabathia, Hidecki Matsui, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Johnny Damon, among others:

The event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 24 at Yankee Stadium.

Per the team's press release: "Fans are asked to be in their seats by 12 p.m. ET for Old-Timers' introductions, which will be read by Michael Kay. A live Q&A session with the players —led by Suzyn Waldman and Joe Girardi—will follow. The YES Network will air both the Old-Timers' Day ceremonies and the Yankees' 2:05 p.m. game vs. the Colorado Rockies."

Rodriguez and Sabathia will be first-time attendees at the event, while a number of other notable managers and players in the team's history—including Joe Torre, Lou Piniella, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, Orlando "El Duque" Hernández, Joe Girardi, David Cone and Aaron Boone—will also be in attendance.

It will be the 76th Old-Timers' Day in club history, with the Yankees the only club to regularly hold such an event. Such an event has a long history in the sport, originally dating back as far as potentially 1875, but has generally fallen out of fashion around baseball.

Except in New York, where it remains a time-honored event for fans and players alike.

"Every time I'm on that field, it's priceless," Rivera told the Philadelphia Inquirer after the 2019 iteration of the event.
