On this day in Yankee history...
1873: John McGraw, who was the manager of the 1901 Baltimore Orioles (the franchise which would become the New York Highlanders) before going on to a Hall of Fame career with the New York Giants, is born.
1969: The Yankees beat the Washington Senators 8-4 as Ted Williams makes his managerial debut for the D.C. homesiders.
2010: New arrival in center field Curtis Granderson quickly makes his presence felt with the Yankees. Already having homered in his first at-bat for the team on Opening Day, he hits a game-winning long ball off Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon in the 10th inning of today's contest, which started as a pitching duel between Andy Pettitte and John Lackey, giving the Yankees a 3-1 victory. Chan Ho Park redeems his poor opening day performance with three innings of one-hit ball in relief to earn his first win in pinstripes, while Mariano Rivera picks up his second save in as many days.
