2010: After Twins manager Ron Gardenhire orders an intentional walk of Mark Teixeira and brings in righty Matt Guerrier to face Alex Rodriguez in the 7th, the Yankee third baseman blasts his 19th career grand slam to pass Frank Robinson for 7th place on the all-time career home run list and give New York an 8-4 win.

2011: Jorge Posada asks to be taken out of the line-up 40 minutes before the game, after being listed as the 9th-place hitter against the Red Sox. Hitting .165, the DH claims he has a bad back, something which Yankee GM Brian Cashman denies, and after the game explains that he feels "a little bit disrespected". With Andruw Jones taking Posada's place, the Yankees lose the game 6-0, with a two-run double by Jacoby Ellsbury and a three-run homer by Adrian Gonzalez against CC Sabathia providing the key blows in support of Josh Beckett's six scoreless innings. Jones hits 9th in the game, the second № 9 hitter in MLB history with 400+ homers to his credit ~ the only prior one was Jimmie Foxx, in his days as a pitcher at the tail end of his career.

2017: The Yankees officially retire uniform number 2 in honour of Derek Jeter and unveil a plaque in his name in Monument Park between games of a doubleheader against the Astros. They win the opener 11-6 thanks to a bases-loaded triple by Chase Headley and homers by Starlin Castro, Aaron Judge and Brett Gardner. In the nitecap, Masahiro Tanaka gives up three 1st-inning homers, including a grand slam by Alex Bregman as New York go down 10-7. George Springer goes long twice for Houston, who lead 9-0 before the Yankees score some late runs to make the game appear closer than it is. Before the games, they place closer Aroldis Chapman on the disabled list with inflammation in his left shoulder.
