The Yanks are ON FIRE! 4 Different ORIGINAL VINTAGE (not Repros) MINT 4-page Programs for OLD TIMERS DAY at Yankee Stadium. Each program has pix and a roster of guests and events. Aside from a slew of Hall of Famers, JOE DIMAGGIO & MICKEY MANTLE attended all 4 of these events (1968, 1972, 1973 & 1975). Mantle was an active member of the team's roster in the 1968 season, his last.
Each Old Timers Day offers a different theme: 1968 honors the ALL TIME LIVING YANKEES & OPPONENTS; 1972 honors FIVE DECADES OF CHAMPIONS and featured the retiring of BILL DICKEY & YOGI BERRA'S #8 uniform; 1973 celebrates the 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF YANKEE STADIUM; and 1975 celebrates the great Yankee teams of the 1950's. OLD TIMERS DAY began as a tribute to a dying Lou Gehrig on July 4, 1939. The Yankees invited Lou's teammates from the 1927 'Murderer's Row' to return to Yankee Stadium for this tribute to the Yankee Captain. In 1947, the idea of Old Timer's Day was renewed at the Stadium, to honor a dying Babe Ruth. The retirement of Joe DiMaggio in 1952 brought him into focus at each subsequent DAY, and so too, Mickey Mantle when he retired in 1969. The annual introduction of the two Hall of Famers, along with the roster of legendary former players who came to the Bronx every year, became a revered sports event in New York. Joining Joe & Mick on ALL of these occasions were the most famous widows in baseball, Claire Ruth and Eleanor Gehrig.
