New York Yankees transition annual Old Timers' Day from exhibition game to ceremony, but 'the sentiment remains the same'

NEW YORK -- Nostalgia again took over in the Bronx as Old-Timers' Day returned to Yankee Stadium on Saturday for the first time since 2019.

This time it looked a little different. The New York Yankees called off the annual playful reunion game because too many of the retired players in attendance are recovering from various operations. Instead, emcees Michael Kay and John Sterling read extended biographies of each honoree while a brief video played on the scoreboard.

"Unless they got an influx of younger players, I don't know if the older guys can play anymore," Ron Guidry joked.
