May 23rd


On this day in Yankee history...


1948: Joe DiMaggio hits three consecutive home runs in a 6-5 win over the Indians. Two of his round trippers come off Bob Feller. 




  

1956: Buck Showalter is born  






1962: Rookie phenom Joe Pepitone  hits two home runs in the nine-run 8th-inning of the Yankees' 13-7 triumph over the Kansas City A's.  










1964: At the Stadium, the Angels score 4 in the 1st‚ and the Yankees counter with 5 in the bottom of the inning off Bo Belinsky. That's all the scoring for the pinstripers as the Angels win 9-5. This is only the second time this season that the injury-plagued Yanks have started their regular outfield of Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Tom Tresh. Mantle will pull a muscle on the 26th‚ keeping him out of the lineup for two weeks.
