Yankees retire Torre's number

Joe Torre lingered on the field at Yankee Stadium, hugging each one of the guests on hand on Saturday to honor New York's four-time World Series winning manager.

If Torre's time with the Yankees always felt like a family affair why should the day his No 6 was retired be any different?

"It's a long, long journey from the field to Monument Park," Torre said. "However, I was blessed to make that journey on the shoulders of some very special players."
