The Yankees announced their promotional schedule for 2016, including several bobblehead days (Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, among others) and Alex Rodriguez replica bat day.

But perhaps the biggest date on the calendar is Sunday, August 14, when the Yankees will dedicate a plaque to legendary closer Mariano Rivera in Monument Park before taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rivera retired after the 2013 season, finishing his career as baseball's all-time leader in saves, with 652. He won five World Series titles with the Yankees.

Last season the Yankees dedicated plaques in Monument Park to ex-outfielder Bernie Williams, catcher Jorge Posada, and left-handed pitcher Andy Pettitte.

Rivera's jersey number, 42, is already retired, since it was the number Jackie Robinson wore when he became the first black player to play Major League Baseball. (All MLB teams have retired the number; Rivera was the last to wear it.)

After Rivera, who might the Yankees next give a plaque to in the park? Odds are good it will be their former shortstop.

More from the Yankees press release Thursday:

Among this year's promotional schedule dates is the return of limited-edition collectible player bobbleheads, presented by AT&T. The set of four -- Mickey Mantle Triple Crown on June 24, Didi Gregorius on August 7, Dellin Betances on September 10 and Roger Maris on October 1 -- is the fourth series in a collection of Yankees bobbleheads.

The Mantle bobblehead distribution comes 60 years after his 1956 Triple Crown-winning season, while the Maris bobblehead falls on the 55th anniversary of the outfielder hitting his 61st home run during the 1961 season to establish a then-Major League single-season home run record.
