On this day in Yankee history...
1904: With a half-game lead over New York, Boston send Bill Dineen to the mound. Patsy Dougherty leads off with a single and Willie Keeler follows with a bunt that catcher Lou Criger fires into the crowd to allow Patsy to score. Keeler scores a play later. Boston's only tally against Jack Chesbro comes in the 9th on a 2-base error and a wild pitch. New York win 3-1. The nightcap is called after five innings and a 1-1 score.
1924: Jerry Coleman is born.

1935: Frank Crosetti returns to New York after an operation at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital to remove floating cartilage in his right knee. He will soon return to his home in California.
1950: In Detroit, Vic Raschi posts his 20th win of the season to give the Yankees a hard-fought 7-5 win. Raschi walks in two runs in the opening inning as the Tigers tally four runs, but New York come back as Joe DiMaggio cracks his 29th home run of the year and Johnny Mize follows a walk to Hank Bauer with his 10th. New York take over first place by a half game.

1958: The Yankees wrap up their 24th pennant, and 9th under Casey Stengel, by winning the opening game of a doubleheader with the Kansas City A's 5-3. Stengel is now tied with Connie Mack for mot AL flags won. New York complete the sweep with a 12-7, 14-inning win in game two. Virgil Trucks allows just two hits over the last six innings for the win.

1974: Graig Nettles homers for the Yankees in the first inning, and brother Jim homers for the Tigers in the 2nd. This is the second time that the two brothers have homered in the same game for different teams, having done it on June 11, 1972, when Graig was with the Indians and Jim with the Twins. Graig's team win 10-7.

1999: The Yankees rally with a pair of grand slams, just the 3rd time in club history, to beat the Blue Jays 10-6. Bernie Williams ties the game with a slam in the 8th inning, and Paul O'Neill wins it in the 9th with another bases loaded bomb.
