During Monday’s spring training game at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Torre, serving as a guest instructor, was summoned to the mound by current Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

His illustrious managerial career, spanning 29 years and including a stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers, solidified his status as one of baseball’s most revered figures.

A Trip Down Memory Lane:
