On this day in Yankee history...
1922: Bob Meusel hits for the cycle for the second time in his career to pace the Yankees to a 12-1 whipping of the Athletics. Meusel (below) and Babe Ruth go back-to-back in the 7th as Carl Mays cruises to his 22nd straight win over the Athletics.

1960: Before 50,556 fans at the Stadium, the Yankees sweep two from the Tigers, winning 7-6 and 6-2. In the opener, Ryne Duren fans Charlie Maxwell with the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th. Detroit are ahead 2-1 in the nightcap when Norm Cash argues at length about a call at first base, and finally gets ejected. When play resumes, Pete Burnside serves up a 3-run homer to Mickey Mantle batting righty. The Yankees are 23-5 since June 5th, and lead the AL by three games.
