NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees honored late Associated Press photojournalist Kathy Willens with a moment of silence before Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Willens died Tuesday at 74 of ovarian cancer, diagnosed shortly after her 2021 retirement. Willens was among the AP’s first female staff photographers and retired after nearly 45 years. Her more than 90,000 images included presidents, Pope John Paul II, protests, war, sports triumphs and human tragedy.
