Yankee fans outraged by CC Sabathia jersey retirement ticket fiasco
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Yankees rescheduled their Saturday game against the Orioles to Friday at 4:05 p.m. due to an incoming Nor’easter expected to hit NYC, resulting in a single-admission doubleheader.
- CC Sabathia’s number retirement ceremony, originally planned for Saturday, was moved to Friday, causing frustration among fans who purchased Saturday tickets specifically for the event.
- The Yankees are offering ticket exchanges for Saturday’s game, but many fans expressed dissatisfaction as they cannot attend the ceremony without buying new tickets for Friday.
- Fans criticized the team for the timing change, highlighting the high cost and advance purchase of Saturday tickets and noting that Friday attendees will receive both the ceremony and a bobblehead giveaway.
- The Sabathia ceremony will begin at 3:15 p.m. on Friday, with doors opening at 2:30 p.m., and there is potential for Sunday’s final regular-season game to be impacted by the storm as well.
