On this day in Yankee history...
1914: Yankee catcher Les Nunamaker throws out two Tigers trying to steal second base in the 7th inning of a game at Detroit, and picks a third off second who had stolen successfully. It is the only time in ML history thus far that a position player has thrown out three runners on the basepaths in a single inning. It is also the only recorded inning in major league annals in which the side has been retired without a batted ball having been put into play.

1967: The Yankees send Elston Howard to Boston for cash and two players to be named later.
1979: In the wake of Thurman Munson's death, the Yankees bring up catcher Brad Gulden from AAA Columbus.
1982: The White Sox sweep a doubleheader from the Yankees at the Stadium, prompting George Steinbrenner to fire manager Gene Michael and replace him with pitching coach Clyde King. King is the Yanks' third manager this season.
2011: The Yankees jump ou to a 13-1 lead over the White Sox in the first three innings, chasing Gavin Floyd early, but A.J. Burnett can't make it through five innings, departing after one out in the 5th, having allowed his team's lead to narrow to 13-7. Cory Wade steps in to shut down the Sox and pick up the win, with the Yankees running the final score to 18-7 with some late scoring. Robinson Cano hits a three-run homer in the 1st to set the tone, and Eric Chavez has a two-run shot in the 3rd, his first as a Yankee.
