Will miss not seeing Bill Skowron. Funniest story concerning “The Moose” was how he got his nickname. The day he was born, his grandfather gave him the name…not because of his size…but, because grandpa thought he looked like Mussolini.
“I can’t stand the Yankees, okay,” Showalter said. “That stays between us right here. I don’t really care if they know, I think they can figure it out.”
“Fearful of them? Afraid to play them? I look at it as an opportunity. Once we get better, it’s going to snowball and they are going to hate coming into this ballpark, believe me.”

He’s just trying to get the fanbase rallied there. Maybe they will draw 20,000 fans next weekend. The O’s might be improving but they are going to have a difficult time every getting out of the cellar of the AL East. Until then, I’m sure Buck will instruct his players to hit more Yankees and then watch the next batter hit a bomb. Great times.
Great to hear the Straw man just now be so effusive in his praise, singling out Joe Torre as the most important reason for the Yankees championship run.
I tried looking at the AL East standing but my scroll down button on my computer wasn’t working… Anybody know where the Red Sox are? I could only see the Yanks on my computer screen…
Moose Skowron (No. 14) must be very sick not to attend. Let’s hope he’s not the next black armband to be worn by the team. He was one of the pallbearers at The Mick’s funeral in ’95.

I believe Moose is there
LOL! It’s amusing to see the three legged one trying to demean California the most spectacularly beautiful and dynamic state in the nation. The jealousy is palpable; but understandable given he resides in the hot and humid red-neck hell that Florida.
Kevin Maas?
Aww, I loved Mike Stanley
Whatever they do, they can’t let George Fraiser pitch. He’ll give up the winning run.
It would be great to see Nova pitch consistently at a high level. I’m not expecting what he did last time out, but GB and K would be nice.
Graeme Lloyd still looks super thin.
What have we here, the injured, “limping” A-Rod playing third base?
A-team playing on a Sunday…nice change
Hoping the are bringing back Jim “Kitty” Kaat.
For those out of market folks are there any options to watch the festivities before 2pm?
Wish the lineup could stay this way for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, at some point GIDPeter will show up to reclaim the leadoff spot.
.333 .427 .613 1.040
A-Rod in June. Who gives a sh!t if he limps?
He’s still the most important position player on the team.
David Wells still looks like he could go out and pitch, but I guess he wasn’t in such good shape while he was playing anyway.
I was at David Cone’s perfect game, seeing that footage still gives me chills.
Joey, “You Coulda Made Us Proud”.
Sarcasm Rich.
Watching Old Timer’s Day
Will Wells punch Torre?
Somebody needs to remind Kay that the Yanks didn’t sweep the ’61 Cinncy team in the Series. 4 games to 1, but Hector could certainly hit.
Do they really need to bring back these marginal players to draw out this ceremony?
Old Timer’s Day is great, I love seeing all these guys again. Bernie will bring the house down.
Graham Lloyd – what an amazing pickup he turned into – another guy I just loved.
Mel Stottlemyre is one of the most under rated pitcher of the 60s and in Yankee history.
Guidry. 25-3 – 1.74 it’s still hard to believe.
Lou!
The one player they need to convince to return is Tony Kubek….before it’s too late.
I wish he were still in pinstripes…..
T I N O !!!!
B E R N I E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bernie!
Fans showing the love to Bernie

Arroyo….Ford called him the “Lifesaver”
PeteAbe
Any sign of Angel Berroa at Old Timers Day at Yankee Stadium?
There is The Real Moose. Great that he made it
Touching moment.
here comes Torre
Torre now
J O E T O R R E !!!!
Listen to the ovation!!!! The greatest!!!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did that one guy in the crowd who looks like Russell Martin with sunglasses make signs for every old timer? lol
That was really cool………….the fans had never had a chance to say goodbye, so now they got a chance to say hello again
I guess that it will be a tough day for Torre when he has to fine and suspend Cashman for tampering (Gordon) after the day is over.

That was very nice to see
did anyone notice Joe Torre’s right arm?….is he okay?
Bartolo Colon should have used this day to do his first rehab start.
Odds, yes it was…….and he was clearly touched. Bernie got a huge ovation as well – not a surprise.

Seeing the affection Torre, Jackson and Ford have for Yogi is really great.

BJK,
However Arod is again in the starting lineup today despite your ramblings about risking him to injury.
—————————–
My ramblings? Wow, OK.
You’re obviously not a big picture type guy Crawdaddy, so no sense discussing this any further. Enjoy the games.
Greatly missed is the Voice himself, Bob Sheppard.
All the old timers were announced by him during their careers.
No one does a ceremony like the Yankees do. Not even close.
Nice seeing the old contemporaries mingling – Giambi and Torre, A-Rod and sweet Lou, etc.
I love hearing the lyrics to the Yankees’ theme song………..but then, I just love the song period.
Aw, first pitch by Gene Monahan…totally classy.
Mattingly:
“Gene broke in with Babe Ruth”
Torre had rotator cuff surgery?? What comes around, goes around…LOL
Giambi with Torre can only mean one thing. He has some clubhouse dirt for Torre’s next book.
DocTodd June 26th, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Only the Yankees would do this for their trainer. What class. Just awesome.
Disappointed I didn’t make it out to the park today to boo Torre.
Yankees will present Monahan with his own 4 well drive ambulance for the farm

Because of his book? Or did you have another reason?

Leave it to f the biggest zeros here to put a negative spin on such a wonderful ceremony and moment. And during the tribute to Gene.

Free speech dude! Rock on!!
as if working for the Yankees isn’t great enough, they give the best retirement package ever
Very classy by the Yankee organization. They may not always do things perfectly but you have to love what they are doing right now.
Wow. I stepped out for 15 minutes and they are still giving him gifts? amazing
That is one beautiful pick-up.

that Goldman Sachs money goes a long way
I knew there had to be a better vehicle than a lawnmower coming.
You can see on their faces the affection and love the Yankee players have for Gene. What a wonderful moment.
Those aren’t farewell gifts—it’s hush money!
I wish Gene good health and a long life..and will miss him greatly.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone….

Whatever, Buck…….. and believe me, the Yankees aren’t crying in their milk because you don’t like them.
LOL He’s probably saying this just to make Baltimore fans happy- he sounds like a fool.

I now think Buck Showalter did the Yankees a huge favor by leaving when he did.
Wait until they get better? Judging by the current last place record, it’s going to be a while.

nice haul & well-deserved
Darryl Strawberry … another useless blob from California.
