Georgeeeee will be missed. I love what he has meant to the organization. I admire how he has dealt with his sons craniosynostosis.
Wishing him well and thank him for the 5 titles he helped bring to the Yankees. He was my favorite of the corp 4
Flanked by his wife and children, with five World Series trophies sitting on a table to his right, Jorge Posada announced his retirement Tuesday.
With Rivera and CC Sabathia looking on, Posada began by quoting Joe DiMaggio: “I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.”
“I could never wear another uniform,” he said. “I will forever be a Yankee.”
Posada's voice broke up, especially when he spoke in Spanish. He thanked his teammates, rubbing his chin three times and wiping his eyes.
"Hopefully you won't miss me that much," he said.
Diana Munson, wife of the late Yankees catcher Thurman Munson, spoke about how Posada helped revive her interest in baseball, which had disappeared after her husband's death.
"I think he and Thurman definitely would have been best buds," she said.
