The New York Yankees are the most devoted franchise to celebrating its former players who have since retired. Each year the Yankees invite several dozen former ballplayers, including many greats and fan favorites, to be introduced to the crowd. Former coaches and managers, trainers, and broadcasters also participate in the festivities. Hall of Famers and special honorees cap the celebration, with those of the highest standing introduced last. Then participating old-timers are split into two teams, often called the Clippers (after the legendary Joe DiMaggio, the "Yankee Clipper") and the Bombers (homage to the team's legacy as the "Bronx Bombers"), to face one-another in a short exhibition contest.
Offered here is an incredible lot of eleven original New York Yankees Old-Timer’s Day programs, including two with multiple autographs. Unsigned examples includes the following years; 1968 (2), 1972 (2), 1973 (2), 1975 (White Sox v. Yankees at White Sox Park), 1975 (Yankee Stadium)(2). Multi-signed examples include; 1977 signed by Henrich, Boyer, Richardson, Skowron and Tresh; and 1982 signed by Mantle, Maris, Skowron, Honochick and Shea.
All signatures are bold and the programs themselves are minimally NM. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
