Weekend Special: Yankees Old Timers Day 2010

The years move on, the memories remain vivid. With the Yankees celebrating their annual Old Timers Day on Sunday, the swings toward the late '90s/early 2000s dynasty.
For Baby Boomers, our direct nostalgia still stretches back to the '60s and '70s: the five straight pennant winners of the early 1960s, the '70s renaissance linked to Billy, Thurman and Reggie. 2010 was the first Old Timers Day I got to shoot after joining WFAN. It was such a kick to capture images of the heroes and headliners from my baseball youth and probably yours. (Above: Chris Chambliss; below: Gene Michael)
