On this day in Yankee history... 
1922:  After
 being thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single, Babe Ruth 
throws dirt in the face of umpire George Hildebrand, and then goes after
 a heckler in the stands. Ruth is ejected and eventually fined $500 and 
suspended one game by AL president Ban Johnson. 
2011: In a 7-3 win over the Blue Jays, Mariano Rivera makes his 1000th appearance for the Yankees; he is the 15th to reach the mark, and the first pitcher to do it with only one team.
