Andy Pettitte to make his New York Yankees 'Old-Timer's Day' debut on June 17
NEW YORK – Andy Pettitte is officially an “old-timer.’’
Along with Jason Giambi and Nick Swisher, the lefty Pettitte – who already has his No. 46 retired - will be making his debut at Yankees’ 72nd Old-Timer’s Day on June 17.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone will also participate in his first Old-Timer’s Day at Yankee Stadium, which will feature Hall of Famers Whitey Ford and Reggie Jackson, and 1956 World Series perfect game author Don Larsen.
Other notables on the invitation list include Jim Bouton, Ron Guidry, Lou Piniella, Bobby Richardson, Willie Randolph, Johnny Damon, Mickey Rivers and Roy White.
Five widows of legendary Yankees – Arlene Howard, Helen Hunter, Diana Munson, Kay Murcer and Jill Martin – will be in attendance.
Former Yankees and current YES broadcasters Paul O’Neill, David Cone and John Flaherty will also be on hand.
Fans are asked to be in their seats by 11:30 a.m. for the Old-Timer’s introductions and the game to follow. Gates will open at 10 a.m., and the regularly scheduled Rays-Yankees game will be played at 2:05 p.m.
