1955: Clark Griffith dies at the age of 85.
1985: Billy Martin is fired by the Yankees for an unprecedented fourth time and is replaced by Lou Piniella, who had been the team's hitting instructor since retiring as a player in 1984.
1999: Roger Clemens pitches the Yankees to their second straight World Series sweep, shutting down the Braves 4-1 and ending his quest for the one and only prize that eluded him: a world championship. The Yankees win their record 25th title, and their third in four years. Game 4 marks New York's 12th Series victory a row, matching a team mark. Mariano Rivera gets his second save and is named Series MVP.
