Talk about a " who's who" of baseball royalty. The Yankees Old-Timers' Day roster is chock full of baseball legends.





The Yankees have announced the 49-person roster, which will play in the 70th Old-Timers' Day on June 12th.

Mr. October, Bucky "Bleeping" Dent, Ron "Louisiana Lightning" Guidry, "Sweet Lou" Piniella. The nicknames alone are worth the price of admission.





Four first-timers are making an appearance in this storied event. John Wetteland and Mariano Duncan, both from the 1996 World Series Championship team, are making their debuts. Bubba Crosby and Eddie Robinson only logged a few seasons each with the Bronx Bombers, but they'll also be out on the field for the first time on June 12th.

The Yankees family is paying tribute to four of their greatest players in a special way. The widows of Elston Howard, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Billy Martin, Thurman Munson, and Bobby Murcer will be attendance.

The "Core Four" of Rivera, Jeter, Pettite and Posada will not be out on the field, which is a bit of a bummer, and certainly has riled up Yankee fans on social media.





Another group impacted by this event is the Yankees' crosstown rivals, the Mets. Fans and sports writers are calling on the Mets to host an Old-Timers game for the first time in years.

​​Could you imagine how expensive tickets would be for a joint-game between the Mets and Yankees' legends? Someone at StubHub just spit out their coffee.
