Game on! Yankees Old-Timers' Day 2025 features return of traditional alumni baseball game

Here's what to know about Yankees Old-Timers' Day this year as they celebrate the 2000 World Series championship team.

TORONTO – It’s game on at Yankees Old-Timers’ Day this year.

In honoring the 25th anniversary of their 2000 World Series championship team on Aug. 9, the Yankees are also planning to host the traditional Old-Timers’ Day baseball game.

They haven’t played one of those at Yankee Stadium since 2019, opting last year for an on-field Q&A session that included Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre.

The manager of that 2000 World Series championship team that defeated the Mets in the Subway Series, Torre is scheduled to attend the 77th Old-Timers’ Day.

He’ll be joined by nine Monument Park inductees, seven players who’ve had their numbers retired by the Yankees, and a few first-time invitees.
