Meet Former NY Yankees Jim Leyritz at the Meadowlands Racetrack

Tuesday, October 8, 2024


On Saturday, October 18th, fans can come out and meet NY Yankees World Series hero Jim Leyritz – with a special Q&A moderated by NY Times bestselling author Todd Ehrlich.  Leyritz will provide career highlights, speak about the current Yankees and their playoff chances, and take questions from the audience.

 

Leyritz, a retired professional baseball catcher and infielder, played for the NY Yankees, Anaheim Angels, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres, and LA Dodgers. With the Yankees, Leyritz was a member of the 1996 and 1999 World Series championships.

 

The event runs from 7-8:30 pm in the 2nd-floor Lounge. Seating is first come, first served, with food and beverages available for purchase. Guests are encouraged to come early to take in the live harness racing card featuring eliminations for the Breeders Crown. Live turf racing is also scheduled for 7 pm, following the day harness card.

 

As a bonus, guests will receive copies of Ehrlich’s 20 Greatest Moments in New York Sports. History: Our Generation of Memories, From 1960 to Today, and be entered into a drawing to win an autographed Leyritz baseball.
