On this day in Yankee history...
1936: Joe DiMaggio runs his spring training record to 12 for 20, in an 11-2 Yankees victory over the newly-named Boston Bees. Before the next game is played, the prize rookie is left unattended with his foot in a diathermy machine. The resulting burn ends his spring training and delays his major league debut until May.
1986: The Yankees announce that their most celebrated off-season acquisition, 26-year-old pitcher Britt Burns, will not pitch at all this season because of a chronic deteriorating hip condition. He will never pitch again in the major leagues.
