New York Mets Announce Full Old Timers' Day Roster
In this story:
Back in February, the Mets announced they would hold Old Timers' Day at Citi Field, the first one in Queens in 27 years.
"Bringing back Old Timers' Day was one of the most passionate requests I heard from our fans," Mets owner Steve Cohen said in a statement when the day was announced. "As we celebrate our 60th anniversary season, having those legendary players return to the ballpark to hear cheers from Mets fans once again is the perfect way to honor our past."
On Wednesday, the full roster was announced for the event, that will take place on Aug. 27.
