On this day in Yankee history...
1961: The Yankees announce that the team will oppose any plan enabling the new National League expansion franchise in New York to use Yankee Stadium. This decision leaves the old Polo Grounds as the only viable option for the NL's new team, the New York Mets, who will begin play in a year's time.
1984: Hall of Fame pitcher Stan Coveleski, who finished his career with the 1928 Yankees championship team, dies at age 94.
