The Yankees released their promotional schedule for the 2022 season on Friday, with the highlights being the retirement of Paul O'Neill's number 21, and plenty of bobbleheads, seven in all, including one of their beloved radio team of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
O'Neill was the Yankees rightfielder from 1993-2001, and was as pivotal a member of the 1990s dynasty which won four World Series championships in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000.
Naturally, O'Neill's number will be retired in a pregame ceremony on Sunday, August 21st, with all fans in attendance receiving a commemorative ticket.
The 2022 season will see the return of Old-Timers' Day, with the 74th installment of this Yankee tradition taking place after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. It will take place on Saturday, July 30th, and attendees will be announced at the start of the summer.
One of the most collectible and sought-after giveaways each season are the bobbleheads that are given away. As mentioned above, there will be one featuring John and Suzyn, and it will be the Yankees' first-ever bobblehead with sound. The "Talking Bobblehead" will be given out on Friday, August 19.
Bobbleheads of current Yankees stars this season will be of right fielder Aaron Judge, given out on Friday, June 3, and pitcher Gerrit Cole, on Friday, September 30.
