On Sunday, the Yankees retired Columbus native Paul O'Neill's No. 21 — the 23rd player or manager in the franchise to have that happen.
He wore No. 21 for his entire big league career, starting as a rookie with the Reds in 1985.
Former trainer Gene Monahan was there, along with teammates Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera. Then there were brief video messages from Jeter, Joe Torre, David Cone and Don Mattingly, along with a message from Roberto Clemente Jr., the Hall of Famer’s son and a former Yankee Spanish-language announcer.
Steinbrenner gave O'Neill a framed plaque of his jersey; other gifts included a custom wine bottle with his No. 21, a framed jersey signed by current Yankees and a water cooler, a nod to his tendencies to slam water coolers in the dugout.
