1994-Nov-18 Stadium Sta Bronx NY
1952-Apr-18, the Yankees retired Joe DiMaggio’s famed No. 5 jersey in an on-field ceremony prior to the club’s home opener. The event marked just the third time the Yankees had retired a player’s uniform number, as Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth had been similarly honored in 1940 and 1948, respectively. DiMaggio announced his retirement at age 37 on 1951-Dec-11
Yankee Stadium's fifth monument was dedicated to DiMaggio on 1999-Apr-25, and the West Side Highway was officially renamed The Joe DiMaggio Highway in his honor.
