On this day in Yankee history...
1933: The Yankees win their ninth straight and take the lead from the Senators, beating the White Sox 5-4. Johnny Allen gets the win, with help from Wilcy Moore (below) for the final out.

1961: Mickey Mantle connects for two homers off rookie Joe McClain to pace the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Senators. In pre-game ceremonies, Mantle teamed with New York Congressman Eddie Dooley to win the homer-hitting contest against other Congressional-player duos.

1995: The White Sox shell Yankee starter Jack McDowell for 13 hits and nine runs in 4 2/3 innings in their 11-4 win in the second game of a doubleheader. McDowell makes an obscene gesture to the fans as he is booed walking off the field.

1999: On Yogi Berra Day at the Stadium, David Cone becomes the 16th pitcher in major league history and the third Yankee to toss a perfect game, beating the Expos 6-0. In pre-game ceremonies, Don Larsen throws out the ceremonial first pitch to Yogi, commemorating his perfecto in the 1956 World Series. Coincidentally, these are the only two perfect games ever pitched in interleague games.

2017: The trading deadline frenzy heats up two weeks early this year as the Yankees pull off a big trade, acquiring third baseman Todd Frazier and pitcher David Robertson, two former All-Stars, as well as pitcher Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox for pitcher Tyler Clippard and prospects Blake Rutherford, Ian Clarkin and Tito Polo.
