NEW YORK -- The familiar chants of "Hip! Hip! Jorge!" will be heard at Yankee Stadium again on Sunday, June 25, when Jorge Posada -- a member of five World Series championship teams and a five-time American League All-Star during his 17-year career -- is set to make his Old-Timers' Day debut.
Tim Raines, who will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on July 30, will be recognized during a ceremony at the conclusion of pregame introductions.
Gates will open to ticket-holding fans at 10 a.m. ET. Following the Old-Timers' Day game, the Yankees will host the Rangers at 2:05 p.m. Both the Old-Timers' Day festivities and the game will be televised on YES.
