Photo Coverage of Monument Park Plaque Dedication at Yankee Stadium

The New York Yankees paid tribute to former Yankee and Hall of Fame pitcher Richard “Goose” Gossage by presenting him with a plaque to be permanently displayed in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium. The plaque was presented at a formal ceremony as part of the annual Old Timers’ Day ceremonies at Yankee Stadium.
The plaque reads in part: “One of the most intimidating pitchers ever to don pinstripes, Gossage had an explosive fastball and fearless demeanor, frequently pitching multiple innings per appearance … Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008. Dedicated by the New York Yankees June 22, 2014”
Meta4 Communications provided complete photographic coverage of the plaque dedication ceremony for use by Major League Baseball and social media outlets.
