NEW YORK (WFAN) - The New York Yankees have announced that nearly 50 former Yankees will attend the 66th annual Old Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, July 1st. The YES Network will air the ceremonies, which are scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m., as well as the Old Timers' Game which is set to follow. The Yankees will then host the Chicago White Sox at 2:05 p.m. Ticket-holding guests will be allowed to enter the stadium at 10 a.m.
