Part 1 on Friday night focused on Mr. Steinbrenner. Saturday afternoon was more focused on Mr. Sheppard. The first words I heard on Saturday were Mr. Sheppard’s “Welcome to Yankee Stadium”.
Saturday was also Old Timer’s Day with a special tribute to the 1950 Championship Team featuring Jerry Coleman.
Yogi Berra was also honored but fell down at his nearby home. He is okay and will hopefully be back at the Stadium soon. Get better soon Yogi!
The Yankees also honored the widows of past greats including Mrs. Munson and Mrs. Sheppard. Members of the 1950 Championship team are in the foreground.
There were photos of the in between innings of the statue of Mr. Steinbrenner. I went to Gate 2 and took this photo.
