NEW YORK -- Jorge Posada tore open the envelope bearing a Yankee Stadium return address, read the enclosed invitation and smiled. With some urging from Tino Martinez, the former catcher was soon digging his glove out of storage for the 71st Yankees Old Timers' Day.
"Tino said, 'You've got to come. It's been too long,'" Posada said. "I'm here because of Tino right now. I want to be here for the fans, that's No. 1. I think people are here now because they want to see us. The biggest thing is the fans. They want to see the old guys come around.
