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.
