October 12th

 On this day in Yankee history... 

1948: The Yankees announce that Casey Stengel has been hired to replace Bucky Harris as their manager. Stengel, who receives a two-year contract, will lead the Yankees to five consecutive World Championships beginning in 1949.  









2012: Behind CC Sabathia, the Yankees fight off the pesky Orioles 3-1 in Game 5 of the ALDS.  Sabathia allows only 4 hits in a dominant complete game effort. With Alex Rodriguez on the bench, New York score twice in 6 innings against Jason Hammel, and Curtis Granderson adds a solo homer in the 7th. The Orioles score once in the 8th, but never mount a significant threat against the Yankee ace.
