During the weekend, coach Phillips, who played for the Yankees from 2004-06, was able to meet former Yankee greats, talk with past teammates, participate in the Old-Timers' Game and participate in a charity softball game. The weekend began on Friday night with the former Yankee players gathered at Lavo for dinner. The former players than took a yacht cruise on Saturday night to view the city of New York from the water. The Old Timers' Game took place on Sunday morning and was followed by the current day Yankees playing the Tampa Bay Ray in the afternoon.
