November 2nd

 On this day in Yankee history... 

1960: Roger Maris defeats Mickey Mantle for the AL MVP award by a vote of 225-222, the second-closest vote ever, after the Joe DiMaggio-Ted Williams race in 1947. 






     On the same day, George Weiss resigns as Yankee GM. 










1964: CBS becomes the first corporate owner of a major league team, buying eighty percent of the Yankees for $11,200,000. 







1995: The Yankees name Joe Torre as their new manager, replacing the recently departed Buck Showalter. Torre, a former Cardinals star and NL batting champion, will pilot the Yanks to four World Championships in his first five years with the team. 










2010: Clyde King dies at the age of 86.
