At the Yankees' Old-Timers' Day, Alex Rodriguez returned to honor the 15th anniversary of the 2009 championship team, expressing surprise and joy at his invitation. Rodriguez praised Aaron Judge, noting his extraordinary athleticism and potential, while reflecting on his own career with the Yankees. Meanwhile, second-year shortstop Anthony Volpe shared his excitement for the event, as it represents his only witnessed championship and highlights his childhood memories of the team's victory parade. The celebration, which marks the 76th Old-Timers' Day, will also feature Hall of Famers Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, alongside other Yankees legends.
