On this day in Yankee history...
1970: Plaques honoring Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle are dedicated at Yankee Stadium. The plaques are located in center field and will eventually be moved to Monument Park beyond the left field fence when the stadium is renovated in mid-decade.
2013: The Yankees turn only their second triple play since 1969 in defeating the Orioles 5-2. With two men on in the 8th, Manny Machado hits a hard grounder to Robinson Cano. The play then goes 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 as Alexi Casilla is caught in a rundown between second and third, and Machado is erased when he attempts to take second during that time. It is the first time that a triple killing has taken that particular circuitous route.
