On this day in Yankee history...
1931: Andy Carey is born.
1960: Instituting a mandatory retirement age of 65, Yankees co-owners Dan Topping and Del Webb relieve manager Casey Stengel of his duties. He posted a 1,149-696 record for the club, including 10 AL pennants and seven World Championships.
1977: Reggie Jackson becomes known as 'Mr. October' after he hits three consecutive home runs on as many pitches in Game 6 of the World Series. Jackson leads the Yankees to an 8-4 victory and the World Championship over the Dodgers.

2007: Joe Torre is out after 12 seasons as manager of the Yankees when he refuses to take a large pay cut to return in 2008. The team have reached the postseason in all of Torre's seasons at the helm.
2017: The Yankees win their third straight game in the ALCS to take a 3 games to 2 lead over the Astros. Masahiro Tanaka baffles the Houston hitters over 7 innings, giving up just 3 hits and a walk, while the Yankees take the lead in the 2nd on an RBI single by Greg Bird and keep adding to it until finishing with a 5-0 win.
