Yankees to wear patches for Steinbrenner, Sheppard

To commemorate the lives and recognize the passings of former principal owner George Steinbrenner and longtime Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard, the team will don uniform patches for the remainder of the season, beginning with Friday’s game vs. Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium.

The Steinbrenner commemorative patch will be worn above the interlocking NY on the left breast of the Yankees’ home jerseys and above the letters “YORK” on the left breast of the Yankees’ road uniforms. Both locations are over the heart.

The Sheppard commemorative patch will be worn on the left sleeve of the Yankees’ home and road jerseys.
