that they will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1996 team on August 13

And I can't believe it's been 20 years since that one.

I wonder if a monument was seriously considered.

Monuments are only for deceased players.

Hopefully that's a long, long way off then. It'll be fun to see that '96 team this summer. Agree that 20 years is just ridiculous.

finally someone who really deserves it. they way the Yankees are

I am sure Yogi is going to get a monument

Be the day with his highest career ERA since that's usually when he'd slump before getting back on his A game when it mattered.

Best reliever ever by a mile.

1 career earned run

On August 14th. Glad I got that one wrong.

Just waiting for triple digit uniforms to become widely accepted

So teams can retire as many double digits as possible for ticket sales.
