The New York Yankees are set to retire another number this coming weekend, No. 51 for longtime center fielder Bernie Williams. It'll happen this coming Sunday, May 24, when they host Texas and hold a ceremony for Bernie Williams Day. He'll get a plaque in Monument Park in a pregame ceremony.
Also, the Yankees players, coaches and manager Joe Girardi will don the above New Era caps during the game -- not the patch on the side for Bernie.
