On this day in Yankee history...
1974: In a five-player, three-team deal involving the Indians, the Tigers and the Yankees. pitcher Jim Perry joins his pitching brother Gaylord in Cleveland. Detroit send Perry to the Indians and Ed Farmer to the Yankees, who send Jerry Moses to Detroit, while Cleveland ship Rock Sawyer and Walt Williams to the the Bronx. This season will mark the Perrys' first as teammates during their major league careers.
1989: With Dave Winfield sidelined, the Yankees trade catcher Joel Skinner and a minor leaguer to the Indians for Mel Hall. Winfield will miss all of the season after undergoing back surgery next week for central disc herniation.
