Ahead of Old-Timers’ Day this coming Saturday, we figured it was a good time to look back at the beginning of the most recent Yankees’ dynasty, which became a reality 30 years ago this October, when Charlie Hayes camped under a foul ball near the third base dugout and caught the ball that clinched a World Series title. Hayes, who has a lifetime of baseball memories that his son, Ke’Bryan keeps adding to, chats with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about his memories from that fateful game, the role he played in 1996 and the joy he gets from reuniting with his buddies.
For our second segment, Yankees Magazine’s Jon Schwartz chats with Meredith about the trade deadline and looks ahead to the final third of the season. Finally, for an outstanding chapter of History Books, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards unveils the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America’s newest exhibit, which looks back at the team’s retired numbers.
Don’t forget, the New York Yankees Official Podcast is also available in video form on the Gotham Sports App. Check us out! And if you have questions you’d like Meredith to get answers to, send them to podcast@yankees.com.
