May 12th


On this day in Yankee history... 


1925: Yogi Berra is born. 






1959: At the Stadium, Yogi commits an error as his errorless streak of 148 games for a catcher comes to an end in a 7-6 Yankee loss to the Indians.

1978: At Royals Stadium, a potential game-ending routine fly ball becomes an Amos Otis walk-off inside the park home run as Reggie Jackson and Mickey Rivers collide in the outfield. The misplay turns a sure Goose Gossage save into a sour loss for the current World Champion Yankees.
