On this day in Yankee history...
1918: Stan Coveleski of the Indians pitches a 19-inning complete game to defeat the Yankees 3-2. Former pitcher Joe Wood Former hits a home run in the 19th ~ his second of the game ~ to end the 3:45 contest, a marathon by the standards of the era. For New York‚ Home Run Baker's 11 assists tie the AL record for a third baseman in an extra-inning game.

1928: In the first game of a doubleheader in Philadelphia, a record 12 future Hall of Famers play in the 9-7 Yankee victory over the A's. This number does not include non-playing Hall of Famers Herb Pennock and Stan Coveleski, managers Miller Huggins and Connie Mack , nor umpire Tom Connolly.

1930: Babe Ruth hits home runs in both games of a doubleheader in the Bronx, giving him nine homers in one week. The Yankees sweep the A's 10-6 and 11-1. Newly-acquired Red Ruffing is the easy winner in the nitecap.

1936: Tony Lazzeri, batting eighth in the Yankee lineup posts an AL record with 11 RBI while hitting three home runs ~ two of them grand slams ~ and a triple in a 25-2 rout of the A's. Another major league record is tied when Ben Chapman draws 5 walks as the Yanks are handed 16 bases on balls. Lou Gehrig exits early and is replaced by his favorite sub‚ Jack Saltzgaver. Monte Pearson is the winner over George Turbeville in the laugher.

1946: The Yankees announce the resignation of manager Joe McCarthy. He is replaced by Bill Dickey. McCarthy reportedly quits because of gall bladder trouble. During his 15-year run in New York, he guided them to eight AL pennants and seven World Series titles.
1952: Jimmy Piersall and Billy Martin first exchange insults before a game at Fenway Park, then exchange punches in the tunnel under the stands. It takes coaches Bill Dickey and Oscar Melillo, along with Boston starter Ellis Kinder, to break up the fight. Piersall goes to the clubhouse to change his bloody shirt and gets into another brawl with teammate Mickey McDermott. He sits as Kinder stops the Yankees 5-2.

1973: Bartolo Colón is born.
1989: Yankee reliever Lee Guetterman gives up five runs in the 9th inning of a New York 11-4 loss to the California Angels, ending his consecutive scoreless innings streak at 30 2/3. It is the longest season-opening streak in the majors since Harry Brecheen's in 1948, and the longest season-opening streak ever by a reliever.

2015: On the day they retire Bernie Williams' № 51 and unveil a plaque in his honor in Monument Park, the Yankees suffer their 10th loss in 11 games to fall to .500. The Rangers' 5-2 win completes a three-game sweep, as a two-run homer by Adam Rosales off Chris Capuano and two RBI by Prince Fielder account for the bulk of the damage.
