October 28th

 On this day in Yankee history... 


1953: Red Barber resigns as a Brooklyn Dodgers announcer to join the Yankees broadcast booth. 









1979: The Yankees replace fired manager Billy Martin with Dick Howser, head coach of the Florida State Seminoles and a former coach with the Bronx Bombers. In 1980, Howser will lead the Yankees to 103 victories but will be dismissed in turn after failing to advance in the ALCS.
