Yankees Old-Timers will play baseball, not softball
Briefly

The Yankees are set to bring back a baseball game during Old-Timers' Day on August 9, a change from the planned softball event. This marks the first baseball game featuring former players since 2019. The event was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An on-field Q&A replaced the game in recent years but failed to engage fans like the game did. Derek Jeter will not participate in this year's event, which leaves the invitation list for former players still undetermined.
The Yankees are reviving the baseball game during Old-Timers' Day, which hasn't occurred since 2019, after initially considering a softball game.
This year's 77th Old-Timers' Day is set for Aug. 9 against Houston, having been absent from 2020-2021 due to the pandemic.
